A city spokeswoman did not immediately return an email seeking further information about the incident.
I’m a crossing guard and the new stop signs don’t work they run right through them like they not even there
These people that have moved to New Jersey are driving crazy, especially on Palisade Ave. They don’t let people cross. They racing down the streets. This is not New York OR WHERE YOUR USED TO .Respect the pedestrians or lose your driving privileges. THE LAWS SHOULD BE MORE STRICT.
