We requested these to be fixed months ago. Were they fixed at some point and now out again? We understood that there was an issue as to whether the lights belonged to NJ Transit(since they are under the trestle) or Jersey City. We were told theta Traffic and Engineering would take care of fixing these lights. It is incredibly dark and dangerous without lights in this area, particularly now with all of the construction and traffic congestion. Please fix these as soon as possible; someone is going to get hurt or mugged.

RRC Assistant Director - Waseem assigned this issue to Engineering - Drew B

Does this remain an issue? I know our staff is/was working actively on this. If it has not been resolved, I will get an update.

It actually still does remain an issue that seems to have not been addressed. I took another photo last week and they are all still completely out. It’s incredibly dark and dangerous. Can the city please find a permanent fix for this? The lights have been out for many months, since last year.

Althea, thank you for asking again as the residents in the area are very frustrated and disappointed about the non- fix on this.

It took such a long time to get these lights, since 2009, that it is frustrating to have them and they do not work. Let me see what I can do on Monday.

Agreed. Much appreciated Althea; please keep us posted. And thank you for advocating for us.

Hi—any update?

Let me find out. Usually the person who handles this, has to constantly follow up. This makes it difficult to get it done. If nothing is moving on this, then I will get the contact and push myself.

Thank you for reminding us to follow up.

This is a more complex issue than we thought since it is several different agencies involved with the bridge and street. Our Deputy Director immediately followed up when I asked about this and he contacted PSE&G, which was supposed to reinstall the meter at this location few months ago. We are on top of them now.

Thank you for letting s know that this had not been completed.

Thank you for the update. Looking forward to having this addressed.

We finally figured out the current issue with these lights being out. It seems that the JCMUA contractor working in the street may have hit the conduit. We are following up with the JCMUA and hope to have these lights on soon.

Thank you Althea. We very much appreciate the update.

Was this finally fixed?

I don’t believe so, but, I will ask some of the residents who live on Marin as they see it directly everyday.

Issue 15393473 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue.

The lights were on this evening! Thank you for helping to get this resolved!

OMG it is Christmas come early! I am so so glad. our neighborhood so needed this and we are more than overjoyed that we could et this resolved, even though it took longer than we wanted it to.

Thanks for your help with Althea; we appreciate your advocacy for our area.
