Dream Come True: Sip Ave, Jersey City – Repaved

Del — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 03:45:36 +0000

First of all, I’m glad to be back from 3-week hiatus. I’m officially married and I needed a few weeks to take care of everything. Despite that, I still took some photos while my ex-girlfriend (now wife) was with me.

Today, I’d like to point out that finally, driving on Sip Avenue doesn’t feel like we are sailing on an angry sea.

Jersey City received repaving funds last March, and this month, portion of Sip Avenue (between JFK boulevard and West Side Avenue) has been repaved: no more potholes and sinkholes, and lanes are newly-painted.

Look at the pictures below to see the development – from being ripped up to getting done!

Journal Square Repaving Funds: Sip and Newark Avenues

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…

Paving in Journal Square

Cottage Street

Did you notice the paving of two streets here in Journal Square? The one is on Cottage Street (see pic above), and the other is on Newark Avenue.

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.

See more pictures below ….

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