Guess which city devotes the most land to highways.
Newark.
But bcs Newark's prop values aren't as high as, say, Oakland's, it doesn't rank among cities w/ the most to gain from redeving its freeways--in terms of total $.
But Nwk prop tax revs could ⬆️ at least 32%, more than Manhattan or Oakland.
With sick bike skills like that, of course he's popular.
☘️🚲 Saturday, 3/7! Get your green on and ride with us in the Jersey City St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Meet us by 1:00 pm rollout in front of Dickinson HS, Palisade Ave. at Newark Ave. We roll VERY slowly and merrily downtown and end near City Hall. Free, all welcome! 🚲☘️
💐 Thank you for showing us how. #iykyk @TurnpikeTrap turnpiketrap.org
Also, we are already seeing the pendulum swing. The middle and high school kids heckling ICE will be old enough to vote before you know it. Maybe if the Democrats would do something to protect those kids NOW instead of letting their future be harvested by billionaires, they could reap those rewards.
The Sherrill Administration's first transportation policy decision is a winner
imagine being kidnapped, trafficked, raped, impregnated, then taken to a state where you’ll be forced to give birth and every step of this is life threatening and also you are 13
All joking aside, this is a HUGE win for New Jersey.
The bridge needs to be replaced; that fact was never in question. But now it will be replaced with a more affordable version that won’t increase traffic and pollution for nearby communities!
A win! Democrat Alex Holladay defeats Republican Bryan Renshaw by a 20-point margin in the Arkansas House District 70 special election.
It appears that Gov. Mikie Sherrill has rejected the controversial proposal to build two bridges to replace the Newark Bay Bridge. jcitytimes.com/sherrill-com...

Per The Economist/YouGov, half of Americans support ABOLISHING ICE.
Literally, "abolishing."

"Abolish ICE" is, very literally, the moderate position
Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape, according to a joint investigation by the Texas Newsroom and the California Newsroom. In Texas, abortion is banned in nearly all circumstances, including rape and incest.
the phrase “more than a dozen pregnant children” ringing in my ears www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
A week after opponents pitched their one bridge option, Gov. Sherrill downsized the controversial NJ Turnpike twin bridge project over Newark Bay www.nj.com/news/2026/03...
🚨🎉💪 We will have more to say soon, but this is a huge win for transportation and the environment. Our coalition's brief statement below 🌳🚶🛤️

Well yes—and very significantly, embraced the plan to just build just one replacement of the same car capacity.
The emptiest of feelings. @turnpiketrap.org
Jersey City — we have a major winter storm coming. I want to give you a direct update on where we stand and what you need to do.
Our DPW crews are staged. EOC is prepared. Salt domes are full. We're ready. 🧵

NJ lawmakers introduce the FUCK ICE Act.
The bill "permits civil action for violations of US Constitution related to immigration enforcement."
i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time
Poor Snooks. 38 is no age to be getting cancer. Hope she will be OK! www.nj.com/entertainmen...
Last Aug., Trump declared a “crime emergency” and deployed National Guard troops to patrol DC. But crime rates had fallen to a 30-year low.
Today, the capital is still occupied.
We’re suing for records to shed light on this unprecedented power grab.

At this point, we should just assume they’re lying. But by their own account the kid had no record. US citizen. At the very least, it looks like multiple policy violations — they surrounded the car, fired into a moving vehicle, killed him through the driver’s side window.
Though held in low regard by Jersey City’s new mayor, Regional Industries will likely be the vendor picking up residents’ trash and recycling for the next five years.

New York City's smaller neighbor was able to make big streetscape changes by centralizing planning for public space under one role.
SNOW STORM REMINDERS Residential Snow Shoveling: Clear a 48-inch wide path within 8 hours after snowfal! ends. Business Snow Shoveling: Clear a 48-inch path on sidewalks within 4 hours after snowfall ends. Corner property owners are required to shovel out to the plow line - not just to the curb. Do not shovel snow back into the street.
PARKING REMINDERS: This weekend's storm means snow plows will need clear streets. Help our DPW crews help you: Check if you're on a Snow Emergency Route. If you are, please use public lots. Cars on corners, in crosswalks, or on Snow Emergency Routes will be towed. Find emergency routes and parking lots at: JCNJ.ORG/ADVISORY
Important snowstorm reminders ❄️
If you see a property in violation of shoveling rules, you can report it on SeeClickFix. If you include the address, Code Compliance may be able to issue a summons as well.
Corner property owners are required to shovel out to the *plow line*, not just to the curb!
