The Hoboken Gallery Walk is today from 2-6pm. Here is the updated list which now excludes Gallery 1200 which was really never an active gallery in the first place but more of a political HQ for the political aspirations of 2nd Ward Council woman Beth Mason. It is refreshing to see the politics become decoupled from art as it should be.

City of Hoboken Community Meeting on Upper Willow Avenue Street Design May 23rd 2pm-8pm

Filed under: City Of Hoboken News,Hoboken — Tags: , , , , , — TheBoken @ 3:00 PM

Here is the latest from the City of Hoboken on improving and modernizing our streets…

COMMUNITY MEETING FOR UPPER WILLOW AVENUE COMPLETE STREETS REDESIGN

Willow Street Design City of Hoboken 5-17-2013

The public is invited to attend a community meeting to provide feedback on a proposed complete streets redesign of a section of Willow Avenue. The “open house” type meeting will take place at the Wallace School (1100 Willow Avenue) on Thursday, May 23rd from 2pm to 8pm.

Pedestrian safety is of paramount importance along this corridor featuring high volumes of two of the city’s most vulnerable demographics — children and seniors. In accordance with the City’s and County’s Complete Streets Policies, planning is underway to make this segment of Willow Avenue a Complete Street that is safe and inviting for all types of roadway users. Hudson County is preparing to resurface Willow Avenue (a County road) between 11th Street and 13th Street. The open house will give the community an opportunity to provide feedback on the resurfacing project as well as contribute to a long-term vision for the project area.

The proposed design features new high-visibility crosswalks, “low-cost” curb extensions that reduce pedestrian crossing distances, back-in angle parking for safer parking and unloading, and bicycle lanes to help calm traffic and reduce speeding. Reduced crossing distances provide extra time for green lights, and computer models show no negative impact on traffic flow.

Those not able to attend will be able to view all project information and provide feedback online via the City’s website (www.hobokennj.org/departments/transportation-parking/projects) following the public display until the end of the month (Friday, May 31).

MAYOR ZIMMER TO REPRESENT CITY OF HOBOKEN AT UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE

Stevens Professor and Mayor Honored by NJ Chapter of American Society of Civil Engineers

Mayor Dawn Zimmer ASCE Geneva

Mayor Mayor Dawn Zimmer will be representing the City of Hoboken at a conference hosted by the United Nations next week. The UN invited Mayor Zimmer to attend the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction conference in Geneva, Switzerland and is sponsoring her trip at no cost to the City. Mayor Zimmer will be presenting on the panel for “Building Resilience into Urban Planning and Investments.”

“I look forward to learning new ideas from mayors and other experts from around the world to help Hoboken become as resilient as possible,” said Mayor Zimmer.

In her absence, Director Leo Pellegrini and Assistant Business Administrator Stephen Marks will each serve as Acting Mayor.

Last week, the New Jersey chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers honored Stevens Institute of Technology professor Dr. Jon K. Miller and Mayor Zimmer for their efforts related to Hurricane Sandy.

Dr. Miller was presented the “Educator of the Year” award for showing “great commitment to the advancement of knowledge of both the students of Stevens and the industry of coastal engineering in New Jersey as a whole.” In addition, “in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, Jon worked tirelessly to help educate the public through media interviews on the core concepts of coastal engineering.”

Mayor Zimmer received the “Service to the People Award” for providing “great leadership during Hurricane Sandy when the utility infrastructure failed, roads flooded for days, and businesses and apartments were devastated” and for being “a great advocate towards infrastructure improvements – including public supporting a micro-grid, additional pumping stations, and even storm barriers to protect Hoboken from future severe storms.”
