Also..why does the apartment bldg on grand get to use a lane for parking. there should be 3 lanes for traffic going north.

May I pile on and request a study for left turn signal at Marin and Columbus? Deadly corner

The opening of the Devil's Artery has also exposed the lack of a proper sidewalk down the left side of the street going down Jersey Ave from Grand St into the park. Pedestrians are forced to either cross the tracks and walk in the shadow of the train, walk precariously in the blind spot of the parked cars (in a bike lane no less), or jaywalk across the now crowded street to the other side. The angled car parking strip that's there should be replaced with a proper sidewalk and protected bike lane.

Cars also seem to be flying down this road. Would love to see a 20mph limit and some speed bumps.

Agree! We live on Jersey near Van Vorst Park, and it has been terribly, and the school year hasn’t even started yet. Friday afternoons/evenings seem to be the worst - at Grand/Jersey, at Montgomery/Jersey, and at Columbus/Jersey. These spots have always been worrisome but now they are just dangerous.

This has been a long time in the planning. Looking forward to seeing implementation of the related traffic and safety measures. Surely some are on their way very soon.

Not to mention the recent change in traffic pattern at this intersection causes cars to try to pass on the right from the right turn only lane and beat out cars going straight while heading east. This is a disaster waiting to happen.

Feels like this is ignored by jersey city. No response from whoever it was assigned to

Almost two years later, and that intersection is worse than ever. What is the hold up, please?

Does this remain an issue?

Yes. Intersection is still dangerous. Lots of cars blow the yellow/red light, stop in the crosswalk, illegally turn on red, or peds almost get hit by cars turning left when the walk signal is on

Ok, got it. This is on the list of intersections to review.

I wonder what the blocked comments said.

Yes, turning cars in particular are a huge issue. Lots of folks getting Big Mad at pedestrian crossings.

I couldn't agree more with the original poster. This junction needs some and, perhaps novel, thinking.

The European practice that's getting more common is to have the lights on a three change system, something like:
0 - No turns on red permitted EVER
1 - All north-south traffic gets to go but no pedestrians and no east-west traffic
2 - All east-west traffic gets to go but no pedestrians and no north-south traffic
3 - All pedestrians get to go (even diagonally) and all cars are completely stopped

Fantastic! We really appreciate the suggestions. We want the community this affects the most to have input in the solution and this is deeply appreciated.

Edamb - One of the concerns with this proposal is that Pedestrians won't wait that long to cross. Thoughts?

That is a concern BUT it could be mitigated with good signage explaining the change and countdown pedestrian signals that accurately tell pedestrians how long until they can walk.

Also, need to mark the whole junction "box" and "Don't Block The Box" signage.
