Yeah. FOLSP is very much a grassroots organization.
They do great work in helping to raise awareness on protecting the park and drumming up money for smaller-scale park amenities like playgrounds and gardens and stuff. But, I mean, they clearly don't have a billionaire's hoard of money backing their efforts.

Question: what’s going on with Friends of Liberty State Park? Their website looks pretty out of date. Are they still spearheading the grassroots efforts?

Maybe if they had a JOB, this would not happen! I've seen what happens when someone gets clobbered or killed. They ought to run that footage EVERY DAY throughout the PATH System!!! FJB caused people to reject regular work! Nice job, as........

I wouldn’t make the move myself. I think downtown is best for downtown NYC commutes.

If you have a better way of reaching our representatives, please let me know here and I will update the main post.
Also, truly post your own version of outreach emails and voice messages.
Above all, I encourage everyone to be respectful, polite, and formal when communicating with elected officials. It's easy to dismiss the kooks. It's harder to dismiss the average voter who is upset but reasonable.

Thank you. I will update! Makes sense since Mukherji is moving up.
Edit: Just kidding, I can't edit the post.
Edit on the edit: Still kidding. Turns out I can edit the post. I'm just dumb.

Sandra Cunningham is also not running for reelection (not that it should stop you from lobbying her office if that's what you want to do.)

If you want those bus lines then you should move to the Heights. There’s no good bus service from downtown. When I worked in midtown (52nd and 7th) I just walked from the PATH. Or rode a Citibike up Hudson River bike path from either Christopher or WTC.

Hi! Thanks for the information and I hope they can fill it soon.
May I ask if you attempted to find a new tenant on your own and they allowed you to do it? For example, recommending a friend or someone from online who has good credit to Newport management.

u/mooseLimbsCatLicks — Can we get this pinned to the top of the subreddit? This is the contact and outreach content we discussed in another thread.

I’m leaving my apartment in Newport’s Parkside West 1 month early and unless they can fill it, we’re on the hook for that last month.
(If anybody wants a 3BR for around 4k I’ll give you a tour before it goes on market)

The 126 route begins at Hamilton Park on one quarter of morning services. Terminates at Hamilton Park on same number of evening services. No transfers required. One seat ride to PABT and an empty bus every morning. Schedule:

Unlimited metrocard and smartlink rarely make sense for people unless you’re going into the city for work every weekday and traveling on weekends as well.
3 zone njt bus pass to ny is $148
10/20/40 trip smartlink is 2.60/ trip
30 day unlimited smartlink is 110.25
30 day unlimited metrocard is 127
You have to use the unlimited smartlink 43 times or more in 30 days and the unlimited metrocard 47 times or more in 30 days for them to make sense
With the bus pass you need to take a 3 zone bus trip 33 times or more in a month. You’d also be able to take 1 and 2 zone trips and use the light rail as well, so value is not as easily quantifiable.

Some rush hour NYC bound jitneys go to Hoboken and then near PABT; usually quicker than NJTbuses and some go further east but schedule is unknown. Combining first jitney with other buses or jitneys near Lincoln tunnel is often faster than waiting for scheduled NJT buses but you have to pay for separate rides.
Gate 51 bus goes to Gate 51 inside PABT from inside JSQ with more frequency than NJT buses. There is also a system of ferries with connecting buses in Manhattan.

The buses to NYC stop effectively every block of two, wherever there is a bus stop.
The bigger issue is that there are no buses direct to NYC from downtown JC. And if there were, they would take too long. Look into taking the PATH or Ferry. The ferry has a free shuttle bus in NYC along 42nd street, so it might get you even closer to your office.

You can also get a Citibike membership (which I'm pretty sure is still under $200 for a year- it's gone up recently though so don't quote me on that!). PATH to 33rd, hop on a Citibike for those last 10 blocks. Citibike membership is good in JC and NYC so you can ride it any time you choose at home too.
Personally I take my personal bike to the ferry, but I work in SoHo so it's a quick ride vs. midtown.

“Covid brain”.
They aren’t drunk. This is a global issue right now. People are having problems regulating emotion and coordination issues. It’s a bad combo.
Also injuries in industrial workplaces has also been climbing. Likely not a coincidence.

Some 126 routes start from Hamilton Park, but that's mostly weekday rush service
Otherwise, it's the 119, 123, or 125.

Correct, but I promise you that this is what everyone that lives in downtown JC is doing. You will have to buy a SmartLink card for the PATH.

But if you have to transfer to the NYC subway from the PATH then you will have to buy a second unlimited metro pass, no? It would double the cost of your commute instead of just buying one bus pass.

Does anyone know how to find annual finical reports for a non-profit incorporated in New Jersey?
I tried using GuideStar.org and according to them People's Park Foundation has 1,100,000 in gross receipts and 625,367 in assets, but it doesn't give much detail as to what that is based on. PPF's website does not do a good job of any type of disclosures.
