7-Eleven (7-11) JFK Boulevard Jersey City

Del — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 22:30:12 +0000

7-Eleven on the boulevard. Taken Sept 2010.

This is the newest 7-Eleven (7-11) store in Journal Square. It opened sometime in October 2010, less than a year after the first 7-11 opened in December 2009 at the corner of Sip Avenue and Bergen Avenue.

7-Eleven
Description: 24-hour Convenience Store, Snacks, Food, Beverages
Location: 3080 John F. Kennedy Boulevard next to gas station between St. Paul Avenue and Route 139
Phone: (201)798-8811

I haven’t been here yet but being on the boulevard next to the gas station, this store target motorists and drivers. I think it’s safe to assume that the foot traffic is better at 7-11 Sip/Bergen Avenue.

Jersey City Elections: Journal Square in the News

A couple of Journal Square election incidents made the news this morning. At Apartments Plaza polling location at 91 Sip Avenue (cor. Enos Place), there was “some confusion over the type of politicizing that is allowed”, news said. It was resolved and the election went through.

Up north on the boulevard near Rt. 139 towards the Heights area of JC, campaign signs of Mayor Healy had been reportedly vandalized. Some signs have been sliced in the middle, and some had stickers of mugs placed over the “H” in Healy, said deputy campaign manager Craig Guy.

Car Accident at Summit Avenue and Rt 139

Car Accident - Friday Rush Hour

I saw this accident this morning around 8:00 AM that caused mild traffic/congestion on Summit Avenue. This intersection of Route 139 and Summit Avenue (North border of Journal Square) is an accident hotspot because of the dangerous left and right turns on both bounds. The damage on the car looks bad, but fortunately, the driver looks unharmed (lady on the phone, see photos below)

How the car ended up on the sidewalk is unknown to me.

Sidewalk Construction on the Boulevard

Del — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 02:31:28 +0000

Remember when the Jersey Journal published a “road work” at John F. Kennedy Boulevard and Rt. 1 & 9 ramp? Here’s a snap of what’s going on (taken yesterday morning before 9am).

John F. Kennedy Blvd and Rt. 139

The ramp to 1 & 9 was open yesterday, but the traffic in Journal Square (even on Bergen and Academy Street!) was heavier than usual, reason why I took Summit Avenue this morning.

It seems to me that the road work is not directly related to 1 & 9 construction, but to the sidewalk of this abandoned building/lot instead.

If you have a more credible info about this “construction”, please feel free to post. ;)

JFK South-Bound Lane, Closed?

Closed? JFK Boulevard South bound Lane

The Jersey Journal (JJ) reported this morning that a small portion of south-bound lane of John F. Kennedy Boulevard is closed due to construction, but also noted that there was no actual repair being done.

“…The right lane on the southbound side of Kennedy as you approach the ramp to Routes 1&9 is closed for what appears to be some sort of road work. But the thing that has to have drivers chapped is that as of 8:45, there is no construction or road work going on — just some cones block the road and a couple of guys standing around…” Source: JJ

I actually noticed the cones and the orange drums on the sidewalk several days prior to the news. If I am not mistaken, a road repair will be begin at the Tonelle Circle (west) this coming Saturday, November 22, 2008. The cones that we see on the sidewalk are probably in preparation for the forthcoming construction.

When I drove to Journal Square (via said Blvd) this afternoon, I didn’t see any congestion in the area. The flow was actually smooth; as a matter of fact, I wasn’t able to press the brakes of my car to stop and take pictures of the cones and drums. (I was able to snap a photo, but it was crappy). I’ll update this post, once I have a quality pic, hopefully when I am not driving fast. :P

Dangerously yours, JSQ. :P
