Hoboken 2nd Ward Councilwoman Tiffanie Fisher’s street safety outlook if elected mayor includes curbing e-bike riding, amping up the enforcement of traffic laws, fixing sidewalks, increasing DWI checkpoints, and much more.

“It’s not just about avoiding tragedy. It’s about making sure you feel safe every time you walk out your door,” Fisher said in a statement.
“Building a culture of safety means city government, residents, and businesses doing their part and working together—every day. We don’t need another report or another press conference. We need to fix broken sidewalks, enforce our traffic laws, and start treating safety like the public trust it is.”
The councilwoman’s plans – one addressing reckless e-bikes and the second on safer streets and sidewalks – address crowded sidewalks, double-parked delivery trucks, and the rise of reckless e-bike riding without sufficient enforcement.
Highlights of the two plans include making it a top priority to end reckless riding by food delivery e-bike riders, increased enforcement of traffic rules, and branding Hoboken as a “Pedestrian City” with signage throughout.
Furthermore, Fisher is seeking to revise Vision Zero to include greater engagement with residents, fix streets and repair sidewalks before they fail and improve ADA accessibility,
install more daytime loading zones, partnering with major delivery companies to ensure compliance with Hoboken’s traffic laws.
She also wants to increase DWI checkpoints and launch handheld ticketing for quicker enforcement.
Fisher also proposes major improvements to bike infrastructure, including completion of the Green Circuit—a protected loop for walking, biking, and recreation—and the addition of safe east-west and north-south corridors for cyclists.
“My goal is to make Hoboken a more sustainable, bicycle-friendly community. I don’t just vote, I lead,” she added.
“On every major street and sidewalk safety initiative, I’ve helped shape ideas, push them forward, and deliver real results—the difference between leaving a fingerprint and leaving a handprint.”
The non-partisan November 4th mayoral race also includes 3rd Ward Councilman Mike Russo, 4th Ward Councilman Ruben Ramos, Councilwoman-at-Large Emily Jabbour, and former U.S. Treasury official Dini Ajmani.
Wait Hoboken can actually enforce traffic laws !
Why didn’t RB & Co. think of that ?
why now?
A City Council Person can only do so much but as a Mayor she can do much more.
Much more complaining and making excuses… She hasn’t had a real job or a boss in years – she argues with all of her constituents
