Yes, yes, yes, to all of this! Kudos to Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop for taking a chance on pedestrian only roadways in the fastest growing city in the Northeast. If it can happen in JC, we can do it in AP.

3 years ago our administration made the decision to close part of Newark Avenue and create a pedestrian plaza. While it hasn’t been perfect I think most would agree it has been a positive change for the area overall.
