Hudson County's Death Trap

Kennedy Boulevard & 32nd Street a.k.a. Hudson County's Death Trap.  

Residents of North Hudson have known for years that the intersection of Kennedy Boulevard and 32nd Street bordered by North Bergen and Union City is a hazardous place for both pedestrians and motorists alike.  Both are County roads, and both see extremely heavy daily traffic.

County and local officials have tried to remedy the situation unsuccessfully by adding bridges, railings, ballers, et al to solve the problem at a cost of millions.  Baby strollers have been hit, and babies and teenagers have been killed, but the problem persists.

The solution is simple, implement the law.  Assign police or County Sheriff officers to the area and ticket every car that runs the red light, which by the way averages three to four cars per light.  Giving out jaywalking tickets would go a long way as well.

The area can be enclosed by barbed wire, but until the law is implemented, the problem will persist.
