Downtown L.A. has endured a half-decade of construction for the Metro Regional Connector subway. Construction is nearly complete. The new subway is due to open in 2022. Metro is already starting to restore streets where it has been doing construction. After adding great new transit stations and new transit service – why restore streets back to […]

This week I wrote a piece about planned new bus lanes on 5th and 6th Streets in downtown Los Angeles. I think the bus lanes are very important. I am really glad to see LADOT and Metro working together to make this happen. Street repaving is getting under way next week (June 15), and re-striping […]

In just a couple days, I am moving to Los Angeles to write for L.A. Streetsblog. I don’t expect to be posting much here at Bikas… but you can read my stuff at L.A. Streetsblog. I have a few last things to post about Jersey City. JC has been a great place to live, and […]

Apologies for not getting to this sooner – between family duties and holidays and a cold, I didn’t get around to reporting on the status of the November 15th Jersey City City Council bikeway vote – announced earlier here. I attended the council meeting, which ran long due to extended testimony regarding Journal Square redevelopment. […]

Bikas is fairly new to Jersey City. I spent a lot of time here in 2012, then moved here on January 1st 2013, so sometimes I get my Jersey City facts wrong. I thought that the bike lanes on Grove Street were Jersey City’s first and only bike lanes. The Grove Street lanes opened in […]

I had the pleasure of meeting Jersey City’s mayor Steven Fulop yesterday. I was in the locker room at Pershing Field Pool. I overheard someone talking with Fulop – a young person who was excited that he was talking with someone famous. I was glad that the mayor was talking with the youth, and that […]

The meeting takes place in council chambers at Jersey City City Hall – 280 Grove Street. […]

I am happy that Mayor Fulop’s administration has pledged to implement the Jersey City’s bikeway plan starting in September 2013. Streetsblog broke the story on August 15th in an article entitled Jersey City’s Missing Bike Lanes Will Be Striped This Fall, City Promises. The article refereces Bikas’ earlier pieces regarding repaving proceeding without planned bike facilities.

It looks like Jersey City is backing off of its commitment to a handful of new bike lanes that were due to be implemented starting June 2013. When I wrote to new Jersey City Mayor Fulop in July 2013, I had thought that new bike lanes were probably just delayed. I live in downtown Jersey […]

Below is a letter I recently mailed to Jersey City’s new Mayor Steven Fulop. I am glad to see new leadership in Jersey City. I expect that Fulop, whom I voted for, will be a lot better than his predecessor, whose administration was most notable for corruption charges. Fulop, according to his own website, is […]
