Welcome to the Website of Newark City North Ward Councilman Anibal Ramos, Jr. |
I thank you for visiting my website. Since elected as North Ward Councilman in May 2006, I've committed myself to working with appropriate agencies to improve the quality of life for residents in my community, reducing crime within our neighborhoods, empowering our local merchants and engaging community organizations.
The North Ward is undergoing some very positive changes. We pride ourselves in having some of the best schools in the City of Newark, best violent crime reduction in the city, wide range of small businesses and over 14 neighborhood watch groups or associations that take care of community issues.
I’m proud to say that over the past two years we've paved a number of streets in Ward, installed traffic safety measures including four way stops in a number of dangerous intersections, installed crosswalk imprints, opened the new Cherry Blossom Community Center and completed the construction of the Three Diamonds Baseball fields in collaboration with the County of Essex, and completed the Mt. Prospect Streetscape Project. We recently broke ground on the reconstructed Elwood Park, Newark School Stadium, and the Help USA Housing Development. Very soon, we'll announce the ground breaking at Kasberger Field and the new North Ward Police Precinct.
On the legislative front, I continue to be very active drafting legislation that ensures a prevailing wage for those who work for subcontractors in our municipal buildings, banning deceptively altered hand guns that are often used in muggings, giving small restaurants the opportunity to better serve our residents in terms of hours of operation, revising the City’s security ordinance which governs large apartment buildings and many others which I have co-sponsored.
My website is designed to serve as your one-stop for information on community initiatives and events, important phone numbers, voter registration and constituent feedback. For assistance, please reach out to my office at (973) 733-5136 or email me at
