My goal is to help make Mount Prospect Avenue one of the city’s premier shopping districts, benefitting both those who have invested in our city and those who live and work in the community.

A recent streetscape project has dramatically improved the Mount Prospect business district with new sidewalks and curbs, ADA ramps, benches and trees.

However, the bicycle lanes that were installed as part of the streetscape improvement project have been a major concern for business owners and residents.

I am happy to announce that the bicycle lanes have been deactivated and drivers are now allowed to legally park next to the curb in the bicycle lanes.

Estoy muy content y satisfecho de comunicarle a la comunidad que las lineas para los ciclistas han sido sus pendiad y se les permitira estacionor los vehiculos en dichas lineas.

Councilman Anibal Ramos Jr. said today that he supports the provisions in a proposed Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Newark and the state Division of Local Government Services calling for fiscal restraint.

The proposed MOU calls for the city to reign in expenses in exchange for $10 million in extraordinary aid that will help the city close a $93 million deficit.
