I used to walk up and down and across and back on Montgomery all the time, East to West. Never found it to be so treacherous from a motor vehicle stand point to be un-navigable, on foot or on a bicycle. You gotta be AWARE of you surroundings at all times in this City! That's coming from a guy who grew up in Ridgewood, Wayne, Parsippany and now Rockaway Township. If I can handle it, ALL LOCALS should have no problems, whether on foot or on a bike!
