ENCANTO
Development at 216 Palisade Ave
The Jersey City Zoning Board voted 6/1 to deny the proposal set forth by developers to build a 5 story, 17 unit building at 216 Palisade. The Sgt Anthony association agreed with their assessment that this design was using the medical zoning rules to attempt to build luxury apartments. We hope the developers will come back with a more reasonable proposal that includes more low income housing, and brings benefit to the community.
The zoning board meeting is available on youtube
Route 139 Sidewalk Updates
Many of you will have noticed the work by NJ DOT to improve the sidewalks along the East side of Rt 139. These improvements include repaved sidewalks, updated traffic & safety features such as no turn on right, clearer signage for pedestrians crossing, and tree pits for trees.
These improvements are welcome but we hope that the NJ State continues to improve this dangerous stretch of Jersey City.
Sgt Anthony Park Dog Run
The Association has been trying for many years to get the city to make improvements so that dog owners are not encouraged to make the front lawn unsafe for kids playing.
Unfortunately because the city has neglected the dog run it has been misused and the city has decided to lock it.
Please contact Councilman Boggiano (RBoggiano@jcnj.org) in support of our efforts to rehabilitate the dog run into a place that dogs and dog owners want to go.
Free Summer Yoga will continue on Tuesdays through the end of August!
