Dear Neighbor,
I hope this email finds you and your loved ones well! I wanted to share a few updates with you as we head into the summer months.
SOUTHWEST PARK EXPANSION
We are very excited to announce that the City of Hoboken has acquired Block 10 from Academy Bus for the expansion of SW Park. This is long overdue and will significantly improve the quality of life of SW Hoboken residents. For the time being the space will be utilized as a “pop up” park that will be opening in the coming weeks. We will be seeking comments from the public as we create a permanent design for the park.
TRAFFIC PATTERN PILOT
In 2016 Hoboken hired Brightview Engineering to conduct a traffic study that would help improve traffic flow in SW Hoboken. Many of the recommendations from the traffic study have been implemented. We continued monitoring the area and worked with Hudson County and Jersey City officials to consider additional changes. The changes can be seen in the photo below and if changes are not effective we can revert back to original pattern. The changes will coincide with the paving of the roads in the area.
CONCERTS IN SOUTHWEST PARK 2021
Please plan to join for concerts on Monday evenings, all summer long:
- El 21 de junio – GENE D. PLUMBER – Hone-a-Billy
- 28 de junio – JOE TAINO GROUP – una mezcla de raíces de música Americana, blues, jazz y caribeña influenciada
- El 12 de julio – Melting Pot con George Naha – Melted Pot es un cuarteto con profundas raíces Hoboken. El guitarrista George Naha y el bajista Tim Tindall tocaron con frecuencia en los años 80 en The Beat’n Path con la banda de corno R&B de George, The Other Mule. El baterista Charlie Caldarola se unió a Tim y George para formar The Sons of Rest, y John Korba más tarde se unió en teclas y voces para formar el cuarteto Melting Pot. Los miembros de la banda tocaron con algunos de los gigantes del mundo musical, incluyendo Aretha Franklin, Hall y Oates, Phoebe Snow, Sam & Dave, Jr. Walker & The All Stars, Wilson Pickett, etc. La banda toca una gran variedad de música, desde R&B hasta Jazz, Reggae, Blues, Rock & Roll, etc. Su ritmo es contagioso, y su interacción musical es bien perfeccionada después de unos 40 años de tocar juntos. En resumen, es muy divertido revisarlos!
- 19 de julio – Lloyd United es una banda de rock ukulele con sede en Hoboken, que es en parte psicodélica, glam, prog y celta, con un sonido distinto que combina el talento de composición con una actitud de rocking pub y visión artística, lo que resulta en una experiencia en vivo espectacular.
- 26 de julio – TBA
- 2 de agosto – ZYDECO REVELATORS – música de baile cajun caliente y de estilo Louisiana. Zydeco Revelators trae la fiesta de MARDI GRAS para usted, en cualquier época del año! En el ritmo de la guitarra eléctrica y el ritmo de los “smokin”. ¡Baila todos tus azules! ZydecoRevelators.com
- El 9 de agosto –

- El 16 de agosto – Escuela de rock: 6:30PM – 7:30PM
2021 HOBOKEN MUNICIPAL BUDGET AND TAXES
We are once again approaching an adoption of our municipal budget. The Bhalla Administration introduced a budget that had a 0% tax increase and on the surface that is a great thing. We received $26+ million dollars from the federal government relating to COVID which really saved us this year especially after having a 7.5% municipal tax increase last year. I am committed to working with my City Council colleagues and the administration to deliver a meaningful municipal tax decrease this year and I believe that as we further examine the budget there will be room to cut without sacrificing government services.
