Your regular reminder that the ever growing demands for safety redesign of NYC’s Canal St. are yet another reason not to expand the New Jersey Turnpike Extension and dump even more car traffic into Canal via the Holland Tunnel.

Jersey City suffers from terrible road design on Rt. 139 and 440 as much as it does from the Turnpike Extension. Unfortunately, NJ DOT doesn’t really seem to care about Jersey City all that much except as an inconvenient place that car commuters on their way to NYC pass through.

From Q4 2020 to Q1 2024, highway construction costs increased 71.5%. That's the dirty little secret with projected highway construction costs, they're all fake underestimates certain to increase. enotrans.org/article/highwa…

In Jersey City, we build at levels of density only seen in New York City, yet New Jersey refuses to invest in new subway, light rail, or bus rapid transit routes. The state instead plans to double the size of a highway through the city for $11B. “Highway-oriented-destruction”

Unfortunately Trenton continues to neglect NJ TRANSIT HBLR expansion to Bergen County. And that leads to more car congestion in Hoboken and Jersey City.

Traffic safety has been a priority under our administration + in Jersey City we were the 1st in NJ to adopt #VisionZero - you can see the changes 🚦 traffic related fatalities down 75% 🚲 More bike lanes + safer streets 🚧 Curb cuts, bump-outs, speed humps for the 1st time.

What's old is new again. In 1999, resident Louis Massano eloquently writes why the *other* boondoggle Turnpike expansion through Jersey City was a horrible idea. The proposed expansion was ultimately unsuccessful due to local opposition.
