@eaconner @yousefjsaleh More trains/ferries is best, but a bike/ped connection should also exist, if our transpo sector wasn't a total disaster Ppl regularly propose bridge, but tunnel is better. There's also ways to use existing tunnels for BRT/bike/ped, e.g. 1-lane bike "pulses" every 1-2hrs.

@JonatPhil @yousefjsaleh Tunnel would be orders of magnitude cheaper to build, would get used more bc it can be less than half as much climbing

@eaconner @yousefjsaleh There should obviously be a bike/ped connection b/w Hudson County and NYC. As it currently stands no one is working on it, and we will still be at square 0 in 10 years. I don't accept that. Ofc I agree with you re: the Councilman's failure to build any bike infra in the Heights.

@JonatPhil @yousefjsaleh Bayonne Bridge is 215', Goethals 140', Brooklyn 127', Manhattan 135', Wburg 145' (bike path). 228' is a huge schlep, there are successful bike/ped tunnels around the world of comparable size, 1000's of people per day would use a bike/ped tunnel between 2 of US' densest counties

@bbenzon @DanLevin_inJC @yousefjsaleh Yes, bridge not really feasible, bike/ped tunnel is easy/cheap/practical though x.com/vincemarchetto…

@grischard @GridlockSam @BarmanNYC Holland tunnel is 93’ deep. Bridge would need to clear a 2000’ navigable channel with a height of 228’. Also you have to worry about suicide barriers and people potentially jumping off. Attached is an image from a NJIT arch studio with @PANYNJ I reviewed on this topic.

@HeinisHardNews @jim_mcgreevey What is "the Palisade Condo Association"? Article makes it sound like an HOA for 36 units…?

@HeinisHardNews @yousefjsaleh @JCHudsonMedia He could have moved forward with what was piloted, but is accommodating someone's objections, and refuses to say what they are Big waste of time and energy, for the tiniest 1st step towards reasonable bike infra in the Heights.

@yousefjsaleh @josh_weissman @davidsankey @JerseyCity @SolomonforJC @bikejc @SafeStreetsJC @NJBikeWalk @HudCoStreets Coles St is great! But Heights is years overdue for a PBL network You know it's good policy, there's already support (which will grow as it's built), and Manhattan/Franklin is already funded Wasting all the money & effort, and pushing everything back years, would be a disaster

@yousefjsaleh @josh_weissman @davidsankey @JerseyCity @SolomonforJC @bikejc @SafeStreetsJC @NJBikeWalk @HudCoStreets You've been in office >4yrs, with over a year left in this term. 5 years and 0 safe routes anywhere in the Heights is unacceptable. You're talking about "a" PBL, in year 6? All JC's PBLs were built in the last 6 years. Here is what the bike master plan has called for, since 2019

@yousefjsaleh @josh_weissman @davidsankey @JerseyCity @SolomonforJC @bikejc @SafeStreetsJC @NJBikeWalk @HudCoStreets The fact it's close to 50/50 means you're behind the ball Do you think Heights will get *more* car-dependent over time? How? Every road is already 3-4 lanes for cars, 0 bike infra anywhere It will only get worse for drivers as JC grows. We need *leadership* on transpo

@AylaSchermer @GovMurphy Car crash deaths per capita decreasing in OECD countries, increasing in US, and especially @GovMurphy's NJ crashes.hudcostreets.org He is spending $20BN widening highways, has built 0 transit in 7 years. Historic policy disaster, with 1000's of violent deaths to show for it

@GovKathyHochul @NYstateparks "Pausing" congestion pricing was a despicable act. Flip the switch Kathy

@presinzano4hob1 Hoboken spending $40MM to rehab a parking garage ($50k/space) nj.com/hudson/2023/11… Depressing watching a new Councilperson focus exclusively on performative nonsense. You could save the city millions of pencils (and your constituents $10k/year) by reducing car dependence.

@Sagermike @presinzano4hob1 @BikeHoboken @HudCoStreets @bikehudsonco @bikejc @bikenorthbergen @WheelieBadBikes @CitiBikeNYC @HudCoTweet he only pursues punitive policies, that won't work (sporadic ticketing on sidewalks when there's no usable bike infra) banning ebikes from bike racks, while ≈100% of curb space is free car storage, is garbage governance (during climate, transpo, and air quality crises, no less)
