Missing crosswalks: Many bus riders directly enter/exit the JSQ bus station on Sip Avenue to get to Hudson County Community College & other destinations. But as with many intersections in Jersey City, one of the crosswalks is missing, forcing pedestrians to navigate around parked cars or cross twice

This is ridiculous. Also, keep in mind the policing. And the over-policing of people of color that use e-bikes.
New Jersey now has one of the worst, if not THE worst, e-bike laws in the country, requiring even people with pedal-assist bikes that top out at 18 mph to get the equivalent of motorcycle licenses.

500 dollar fine for defrauding the state, and NJ Democrats couldn’t even bother to raise that fine to $750. With all of the hit and run crashes in the state, one of these drivers could evade prosecution if they kill or severely injure someone if their license plate is obstructed.
“A bill to raise the fine from $500 to $750 and add possible jail time for displaying a fictitious plate or using a flipping device to hide a plate number was never posted for a vote in the full Assembly before the session ended on Jan. 12. “

3 toll evaders racked up more than $46k in unpaid bills, cops say
Three separate traffic stops this week revealed drivers using low-tech methods to hide plate numbers, even as some motorists employ sophisticated flipping devices to dodge tolls.

It’s weirdly, deceptively slippery out right now in Jersey City, not the solid ice but the thin, transparent film of slush. It’s like … more slippery in places where it’s usually less slippery and vice versa.

Please call and text and request Murphy veto the ebike bill if you live in New Jersey. My Mom rode a Class 1 ebike until a few months before her death at 87. It was the only way she could go grocery shopping. And lots of her friends used them to get around as well. They were life rafts for them.
We'll know within the next 4 days and 2 hours if Governor Murphy will veto the poorly written Motorized Bicycle Bill S4834/A6235 into law.

Senator Scutari's grossly irresponsible e-bike bill has advanced again, despite being a knee-jerk reaction to 2 women being murdered by a man using a car as a weapon. It would criminalize e-bike riders and discourage safe and sustainable transport, and it must be stopped.

Cities and states need to raise *real* money to improve their public transportation and pedestrian infrastructure. It's time for Jersey City and other cities in NJ to start seriously paying for accessible, frequent, reliable transit services. Otherwise we end up in a detrimental car dependency loop.
