Complete Streets are roadways that enable safe and convenient access for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, children, people with disabilities, seniors, movers of commercial goods, and users of public transportation. Complete Streets stimulate active, healthy behavior, reduce automotive traffic and pollution, encourage more foot traffic to businesses, and enhance interaction with the shared space we all know as the street.
“Washington Street is already nationally recognized as a ‘Great Street,’ but we know it can be improved,” added Mayor Zimmer. “Whether it’s safer pedestrian crossings, green stormwater management, or smart technologies to improve parking and public transit, we want to hear the community’s vision and priorities for making Washington Street an even greater street.”For full details, view this message on the web. |

Unrelated: An attempted hit job on Hoboken Democratic Chair Jamie Cryan was sent to local media last night. Markers suggesting it was a Russo-Ramos operation point to Beth Mason’s bottom feeding catfish political operative as the author according to analysis today on Grafix Avenger.
MSV alerted Cryan who declined comment and Da Horsey attempted to speak to the alleged authors of the letter but received no response. It’s post election but the Hoboken waters remain murky and swampy. Of note and a likely tell, all local media in the email were contacted with MSV listed first sans Hoboken411. Read More...

The City of Hoboken will host the Hoboken Huddle at Pier A Park on the Hoboken waterfront the week of January 27 to February 2 leading up to Super Bowl XLVIII.
The centerpiece of the Hoboken Huddle, which will include activities, food, and entertainment, will be a large 16 foot tall illuminated sculpture of the Roman numerals “XLVIII” overlooking the Manhattan skyline. Read More...
As the clock approached eight and the polls closed, decision time lay ahead. The sidewalk made for some clammy hooves and the trot back was achy making street duty less than pleasant. Among the candidates, Joe Mindak and Eduardo Gonzalez extended pleasantries. The brief passing with Timmy Occhipinti at 14th and Washington St. unsurprisingly less so. A woman with Occhipinti’s small crew bellowed out to passersby to “vote for my brother.” She seemed too nice to be related. Read More...

Community: City of Hoboken Announces Hoboken Huddle to Celebrate the Big Game
The City of Hoboken will host the Hoboken Huddle at Pier A Park on the Hoboken waterfront the week of January 27 to February 2 leading up to Super Bowl XLVIII.
The centerpiece of the Hoboken Huddle, which will include activities, food, and entertainment, will be a large 16 foot tall illuminated sculpture of the Roman numerals “XLVIII” overlooking the Manhattan skyline.
“We invite visitors to Hoboken to complete their Super Bowl experience with an iconic photo only available on the New Jersey side of the river,” said Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer. “With Hoboken’s restaurants, nightlife, easy access to Manhattan, and train access to the stadium, there is no better place to celebrate the big game.”
The Roman numerals will be visible from both sides, and up to 12 individuals or local businesses can own a piece of history for $5,000 or $7,500, respectively, and have their names engraved on a Roman numeral. Those wishing to “adopt” a letter can contact Scott Katz at hobokeneventscommittee@live.com. A “thank you” drawing among the twelve individuals and businesses will be held for a pair of Super Bowl tickets with prime location.
In partnership with the US Curling Association, the Hoboken Huddle will feature 3 lanes of curling which will be free and open to the public. Early in the week, an instructor from the US Curling Association will be on hand to provide tips to participants. The curling lanes will remain at Pier A the entire month of February to coincide with the Winter Olympics.
WestwoodOne Sports, the official national radio partner of the NFL, and NBC Sports Radio will have a broadcast presence within the Hoboken Huddle.
The City is seeking sponsorships for additional activities for the Hoboken Huddle, including an outdoor ice skating rink.
The Roman numeral concept is a vision born from the Hoboken Events Committee, led by Chairman Scott Katz. Local architect John Nastasi has volunteered to spearhead the design. Through the cooperation of Freeholder Anthony Romano and President of the Hudson County Building and Construction Trades Council Patrick Kelleher, the Hudson County labor unions will be volunteering their time to build the sculpture.
Hoboken is a vibrant city and residential, cultural, commercial, educational and tourist destination. Ranked the country’s most walkable city, Hoboken’s charming, nationally-recognized main street features eclectic restaurants, night clubs, and diverse retail shopping. The award-winning waterfront offers uncompromising views of Manhattan and New York Harbor. Hoboken is home of the Redwings, the back-to-back state high school football champions.For full details, view this message on the web. |
