Dam that's sad to hear...i'll still come by on the 5th and then flood this section / r/newjersey with my blossom pics...

Wow this explains a lot why people out here drive they do.

There’s a cherry blossom festival every april

Next weekend should be peak — April 8-9. Most are still budding now although some of the earliest are in bloom.

I actually devised a plan. Trains to Miami from Newark penn are like $100 right. Takes 24 hours. I could send one a month with two bottles of water and some crackers. Handcuff them to the chair and have someone in Florida to let them free. We can cleanup Newark penn together

Or if it's a dense city with a lot of pedestrian traffic, use raised scaffolding when nothing is going on at ground level to let pedestrians pass underneath.

It's more expensive, and introduces liability, so nobody does it in cities where it isn't enforced.

Hey yo!. Real OGs did the road test on frelinghuysen avenue during the day. Try to Merge with that Bobtailing tractor riding your ass.

That era was great. Like 07-16 skyline was lighting up all over the place. Really hoping we hit a new stride w some of these buildings. Bc I legit felt a big stall and regression the last 3-5 years, even before the pandemic. Starting with the military park fiasco.

Yes I do. Was great. Idk why they stopped that as well. So annoying. These landlords are lazy and cheap.

I don't know if anyone remembers when the Military Park Building was lit for the year or so after it was renovated. It was gorgeous

That's taken into consideration when they do the lighting design. They avoid affecting any apartments when choosing where to put the up lights. And they typically shut off at a certain time. Believe me, no landlord is going to sacrifice lost rent because of up lighting

This was relatively high profile when they came to the city and started building this. Wondering if they could figure out a way to grow marijuana in there? 🤔 Might be more profitable

Now

It varies every year, based on the temps of winter. This year, bloom started pretty early. They’re anticipating peak bloom April 1-6 this year. But going through the park, many of the trees that have bloomed have lost their buds with the nor’easter we had a week or so ago.

There’s construction going on at the cherry blossom center and parking this year is limited. This weekend, parts of the park roads will be closed for a bike race Saturday and a road race Sunday.

When they are blooming??

Lets not fix our community because walking 20’ to use the sidewalk across is insane

Please the city bike lanes and bus lanes are filed with Amazon trucks offloading and sorting.

Designated lanes mean squat

Yes my wife needs a site for her new business , send dm

The issue is there's no safe walking path for peds, they have to go back to the light and cross or walk in the street. A lot harder and more dangerous for people with strollers, seniors, etc.

I'd say the next week or two should be good.

This twitter account posts updates every day or so with how Cherry Blossoms look when they're in season. I believe the Cherry Blossom welcome center in the park has "meter" outside show the state of the bloom.

This isn't how you shut down a sidewalk. You're supposed to have signage at the nearest crosswalk alerting people that it's closed ahead so they can cross appropriately or provide safe, protected passage in the street.
