A popular New York-based gourmet market, Dumbo Market, is expanding to New Jersey with a new 12,700-square-foot store at Southend Lofts in Hoboken, a historic condo project offering luxury residences and extensive amenities, scheduled to open this winter.
Hoboken, New Jersey, has successfully eliminated traffic deaths for seven years by implementing Vision Zero guidelines, including the removal of parking spaces near intersections to improve visibility. While the plan has faced criticism from some business owners, the city's approach also includes lower speed limits, staggered traffic lights, and infrastructure changes such as widening curbs and shortening crosswalks. Other major U.S. cities have integrated aspects of the program into their safety plans, and states like California have enacted laws prohibiting parking near intersections to enhance pedestrian safety.
