Hey guys! Do you have any book recs from anything you’ve read lately? To clarify: I like and am open to every genre

Google "chicane."

Most of the time chicanes are used to slow down vehicular traffic. As long as Jersey City is not going enforce laws to stop speeding electric bikes on sidewalks, we need sidewalk "chicanes" in neighborhoods with vulerable pedestrians.

They work. You can find chicanes all over the world as effective tools to make it impractical for bikes to speed along predestrian sidewalks. They come in many forms. Any one with an advanced degree in traffic safety knows them and could pracical disigns.

The sidewalks along both sides of Kennedy, north and south of Duncan, would be a good place to start. Today - again - that intersection - is in the news because of yet another serious accident over this weekend.

There are seniors-only buildings, schools and playgrounds all around that intersection. Right now electric bikes use those sidewalks as raceways, often speeding faster the parallel roadway traffic. Must we wait for a bike vs pedestrian tragedy that a sidewalk chicane could prevent?

Let's start installing chicanes along that dangerous stretch of sidewalk.

What a scam, after all the noise about a “smooth transition” many of students like me who was a couple of credits short of graduation, now being told I don’t meet the KEAN requirements 😡😡 what that hell is this!!! Now we have to register with Kean with little to no training on how to use their online system, no advisors to help because you fired them all, thank you Acebo.

Both of these presidents should be ashamed of themselves!!!Not only have you ruined the staff of Njcu now you’re coming for the students. I’m ready to transfer out, you’re both a complete disaster 👎 all you did in these townballs was feed us fake information and now that we need assistance, guess what? No one is available because they’re either fired or taking days off before being fired. Extremely bad planning on the transition team!!! I hope all of the Njcu students drop Kean, I sure will.

I saw this at like 1:15am.

That old tan brick house with orange doors that overlooks the big intersection had a huge police presence outside. There were multiple police cars with lights on (but no sirens/no noise), and they had an extremely bright spotlight aimed at a second story window. I saw an officer aiming a long rifle toward the window, then lowering it again a few seconds later. I thought I might’ve seen a hand sticking out of the window but not sure.

The whole thing was very eerie. Maybe this is nosy but I can’t help asking. Does anyone know what happened?
