Dead ass like

The fact that you would refer to any city that way in earnest is wild….

Tell him to just make a Reddit

how kind of you to think that!!! newark doesn't need the mentality of calling places "trash ghetto"

I’m an outsider, but thinking of moving to Newark. I love the “bones” of the city- the parks, the streets, the architecture, and the transit infrastructure that still exist despite the decades of decline. I love that it’s close to NYC but yet still it’s own creature. Newark has so much potential and I think I’d like to be able to help the city continue to come back.

Annex as in Hillside, Elizabeth, Irvington, etc. should all be boroughs within Newark similar to how Brooklyn is a borough within NYC.

Cities like Chicago and Cleveland have similar landmass as if Newark stretched from here to Piscataway.

That's also why Chicago can have so much gun violence on one side, but be completely elitist on the other.

Imagine if Irvington was the gun violence capital of the world, but you live all the way out in Piscataway, so you don't really see it.

The only difference is that in Chicago, both of these places are still named Chicago.

Anyways yeah, Newark ought to annex other cities. The only "losers" would be the city council candidates who would find themselves out of a job.

I’m not worried or asking for me. I’m asking for a friend from a different state who doesn’t have Reddit. They’re from Oklahoma

May I recommend the search bar as well

If you from Philly you shouldn’t be worried

As a south Jersey resident I think Newark isn’t as much as a trash Ghetto as Camden lol. I’ve been and it has it’s good parts.

AFAIK central/east line is the train tracks which makes it central ward (also where I live)

Thanks, let us know if you make any progress!

As a reminder, the easement I found said it should be open to the public at all times.

Before Covid it was open 5am-midnight 7 days a week.

Not to be a dick, but use the search.

Posts like these just come across as ignorant // in bad taste considering the history of Newark and the history of everyone assuming we're a trash ghetto city.

Agree on all points.

I never got to experience gateway before the renovations, so I can only make assumptions based off of what I've seen.

I'm familiar with LaMonica. If I run into her I'll ask for answers.

So they turned it into…a mall. Cool

I think this the easiest thing to do in the near term but it would still require a fair bit of effort is really improving the Newark bus network. NJ Transit put out a redesign proposal which I felt was pretty good but that seems to just be dead in the water. Improving headways, implementing bus lanes, installing more bus shelters, making the system more friendly to new users. Other things that come to mind include refreshing existing light rail stations, ADA improvements to stations that are not compliant, installation of countdown clocks, turning light rail stations into mobility centers by better incorporating transfers to bus service and bike and scooter share programs. Beyond that, making a serious effort to create proper bus rapid transit lines on select corridors and expansions of the Newark Light Rail.

Isn’t the gateway center in the east ward? Would it help to contact Silva’s office too?

Please use the search.

This has been asked and answered many, many times

I miss that petco

Its great it will be useful for you, but there are tons of open spaces downtown that would be better. No need to take up so much prime retail space for something that will have limited hours and zero windows.

It's always a timing / available appointment issue. She used to go to University Radiology in Elizabeth, but they were shutdown due to Ida's flooding. I think they just reopened.

She started going to New Brunswick instead because she could at least take a train if I wasn't available, but for this place, she will just have to go downstairs.

If I had to venture a guess, they will probably expand the garage.

Ah, yeah. Newark doesn’t have that. We at least have council agendas and land use meetings online. Not the building permit stuff. Would be nice!

Google maps shows they have a location in Belleville

Sweet. No more driving my wife to New Brunswick on a Saturday because the only appt she can get for an ultrasound that fits with her work schedule is down there.
