South of Journal Square, Vroom Street from Van Reypen (West) to Summit Avenue (East) has been ripped up and manholes are raised — road paving will follow soon.

“No Parking” signs have been posted, but I see cars parked on right side of the street.

I hope Jersey City starts repaving Sip Avenue soon.

Sip Avenue taken last year (May '08)

Jersey City receives funds to repave Newark Avenue and Sip Avenue. Last year (May 2008), Sip Avenue and other portions of Journal Square were ripped up, and got a facelift (new asphalt). This time, the other side of Sip Avenue (West of JSQ) will be improved. I hope they extend it to West Side Avenue because the drive there is just terrible, especially the portion of TWIN City just past the Fire Station.

As for Newark Avenue, I don’t know why it is slated for another road construction because it was already repaved just last October.

This new funds however, will extend Newark repaving to Coles Street in Downtown, Jersey City.

…The project — which applies specifically to Sip Avenue between Kennedy Boulevard and Bergen Avenue and Newark Avenue between Tonnelle Avenue and Coles Street — will also include installation of handicapped curb ramps, replacement of catch basins, and installation of bicycle-safe grates…

Cottage Street

The manholes are raised and the road is ripped. Both streets have NO PARKING Notice (7am – 5pm Oct. 1 – 3, 2008). However, the paving on Newark is much longer as it extends up to the India Square past Kennedy Boulevard. I am not sure though if the Newark paving goes past Summit Avenue/Five Corners.

I hope Jersey City patches the potholes on Sip Avenue by the TWIN City Supermarket.
