Just like every Friday, we have Open Office Hours, starting right now! From 3-6pm on Fridays, come walk in and chat with your Ward D Council Office. We are committed to transparency and accessibility, and you’ll find us at 257 Central Ave. #1 weekly, available to talk through concerns, questions, and ideas for making Jersey City ours 🌹

Thank you to @st.josephsschoolfortheblind for organizing a beautiful walkathon and dance party and inviting us to join! So inspiring seeing people of every kind of ability and body enjoy this beautiful day and celebrate.

🚙🧹Upcoming street sweeping suspensions for the remainder of the year — plus, Ward D neighbors have dealt with unplanned and unannounced missed sweeping routes. Some no-shows have been due to recent, critical OSHA trainings that pulled staff away. But we’re in communication with DPW and Sanitation to make sure we get to the bottom of all these gaps in scheduled sweeping.

Regarding the crash on Nelson and Irving, I am still learning more details but I know we deserve better. I’ve been communicating with residents and City Admin for all four months since I took office about street safety and traffic concerns along Nelson. Our understaffed Department of Infrastructure is finally getting traffic engineers hopefully very soon to tackle necessary changes, and the Mayor revived the Traffic Enforcement Division as a public safety priority. I am ranking Nelson and Irving #1 on my street safety priorities list for adding a multiway stop, a list that Infrastructure is collecting this week to get some improvements started ideally in the next months. I’ll be asking for an additional Street Safety/Vision Zero walk in Ward D to take place on the Slopes, since the walk we did this weekend took place on Palisade, Franklin, Central and Bowers. All of Ward D deserves safe streets. Please feel free to submit concerns about additional intersections: jakeforjc [dot] com [slash] service

Every tenant deserves to know how their utility charges are calculated. Join us in regulating Ratio Utility Billing Systems (RUBS) this Wednesday afternoon at our city council meeting.
