Speeding ArchivedLaurel Ave & Hillcrest Rd Kearny, NJ, 07032, USA - KearnyThe speeding continues on Laurel Avenue. It has gotten better since the 4 way stop sign however I am witnessing too many vehicles blowing through the signs when they are going up or down Laurel Avenue especially in the dark, is it possible they don't see the signs? Could we add the blinking lights to draw attention to them? Those who are speeding will continue to speed I'm sure but maybe this can stop a few. Last night I witnessed a disturbing sight, a person made a right turn ignoring the sign and then pulled over right on the corner, got out of his car and urinated on the street. When it's dark I wish I didn't have to walk my dog but unfortunately I have to.

Snow Issues ArchivedLaurel Ave & Hillcrest Rd Kearny, NJ, 07032, USA - KearnyAny plan to clear the walkways to be able to cross the streets, its impossible, there are large mounds of snow that you have to climb over some worse than others.

Traffic Sign or Marking ArchivedLaurel Ave & Hillcrest Rd Kearny, NJ, 07032, USA - KearnyIs there going to be a 4 way stop on Laurel and Hillcrest as I see one has been installed on Washington and Hillcrest. We have been asking for this for a very long time on Laurel.

Unlisted items ArchivedLaurel Ave Kearny, NJ, 07032, USA - KearnyIs traffic being diverted onto Laurel Ave from Passaic Avenue? I feel like I live in Schuyler Ave. Also the amount of trucks grows daily, all kinds of trucks, just had a shoprite truck pass by. It is 8:30 and this has been for about 1 1/2 hours now.

Trees Archived77 Laurel Ave Kearny, NJ, 07032, USA - KearnyThere is a very large branch hanging from this tree it is not connected to the tree but suspended and connected to other branches. If this falls someone is going to get hurt. The top of the tree has no leaves. I know there is a lot going on after the storm but could you add this tree to the list to be checked?
Thanks! -

Traffic Sign or Marking Archived76 Laurel Ave Kearny, NJ, 07032, USA - KearnyI am working from home due to the tragic situation we all find ourselves in with this virus. However, being home all day I am seeing quite a few trucks coming up Laurel Ave. The drivers are ignoring the "no truck" sign. There is no reason for dump trucks to be coming up this block neither is a truck delivering to a store, there are no store until you get to Kearny Avenue. This is not a safe situation especially more so now that all the children are out of school.

Speeding Acknowledged76 Laurel Ave Kearny, NJ, 07032, USA - KearnyOnce again we had a tragedy on Laurel Avenue, a dog was hit and killed by a car, who I am told didn't even bother to stop. The more development on Passaic Avenue with all the new apartments and retail, the more traffic is coming into our local streets avoiding the traffic on Passaic Avenue and going to the Belleville Pike. Those of us who walk our dogs are crossing the streets often and it gets more and more difficult. We have been complaining about the speeding for a long time. Please something has to be done, a 4 way stop sign might help. The population of our town has grown, our traffic signs need to be updated. Washington, Laurel, Linden and Magnolia have become a fast way to avoid going to the Pike, especially Laurel being the first block to turn up from Passaic.

Speeding ArchivedLaurel Ave Kearny, NJ, 07032, USA - KearnyThe person delivering the Star Ledger in the morning speeds , doesn't stop at stop signs and drives on the wrong side of the road to make the deliveries. Also cuts around the corners so close to the curb that I have to back up quickly. I walk my dog at about 5am daily, I am visible but had to pull back twice when trying to cross at Hillcrest and Washington and then again at Laurel and Hillcrest as he speeds up and down the blocks. To make his deliveries on the north side of Laurel instead of going down the hill he comes up the hill and crosses over to the wrong side where he has left two animals dead in the street. I have had to call animal control twice so far. You can't get his attention because his radio is blasting. He probably doesn't see us because he has his interior lights on and he is looking at his papers on the passenger seat. If paying attention you can see us walking as my dog has a leash that lights up. So I am taking necessary precautions when out in the dark. He needs to slow down.

Dogs-Cat issues Acknowledged76 Laurel Ave Kearny, NJ, 07032, USA - KearnyAnother one of my complaints has been closed with no resolution and I was not given the option to keep it open. There are trucks going up and down Laurel Avenue as if they are on a highway. There is clearly a sign prohibiting them. They are not working on a construction site. There is no reason for them to come up here except to avoid the traffic on the Belleville Pike, this is not fair to those of us living here and its making the poor condition of our streets worse. Please do not close this issue as long as the trucks are ignoring the signs not to come up here.

Speeding ArchivedLaurel Ave Kearny, NJ, 07032, USA - KearnyOnce again a car was hit and severely damaged on Laurel Avenue between Passaic and Hillcrest. I have lost count as to the amount of times this has happened from cars speeding up or down Laurel Avenue. I fear crossing the street. Please consider a 4 way stop sign on Hillcrest and Laurel.

Leaves Archived76 Laurel Avenue Kearny, NJ - KearnyI am at 76 Laurel, several people across the street from us have EMA Landscaping blowing their leaves. They do so all over everyone else's property, so unless you can afford to hire them you come home from work to a mess. I wanted to call them myself to ask them not to do this but can't find a phone number.

Garbage Archived70 Laurel Avenue Kearny, New Jersey - KearnyThere is garbage in front of the property all the time, if it falls out of their trash cans it stays out. They rarely know the correct recycling schedule so that goes all over. The landlord doesn't live there and the tenants apparently are not bothered by the mess. It looks terrible.
