Quote from: speaknj on 09-08-2014, 03:46pmAt 3:00 PM when schools 3, 4, Lutheran parochial and the old school 3 which is now an adult school let out there is a standstill of traffic. I am referring to Jersey Avenue from Newark Ave to the hospital. If there is an emergency in the Van Vorst community, how will emergency vehicles travel? Now that schools are open, we are back to a normal routine, not the summer when schools are closed. I remember an emergency on Van Vorst Park about 8 years ago, there was an electric fire that destroyed a building. Thankfully, it was contained and did not spread but it took 6 to 8 firetrucks to put that out. I asked earlier, but perhaps you missed it. What makes you think "the station near the Prep" isn't normally manned? Why can't the Newark Ave station use Brunswick to head south like they already do?

With the traffic backup when Newark Avenue is closed, someone must speak about fire emergencies especially in the Van Vorst Neighborhood. The Newark Avenue fire station is used for any emergencies in that area. The fire station near the Prep is normally not manned.

Calm down.

HOT MESS!! So many people everywhere!!
It seems odd to have it start earlier on weekdays than on weekends. Certainly the Sat./Sunday brunch and event crowd is better at 10:00 am on weekends than, say, on a Monday. And it would be more beneficial for businesses to receive deliveries on weekdays until noon. Did this story get the hours wrong?
