$15/year for the permit to park on the street

Market rates for reserved parking run at $150-200+ per month. Jersey City street parking is the biggest bargain there is and still folks like you will complain about having to walk a few extra blocks home for construction.

The complaint is more about having at least 7 blocks worth of street parking unavailable for a full week all at the same time without much warning. Despite what some cars blowing through stop signs think, this isn’t a highway and doesn’t need to all be repaved all at the same time. They could stagger which blocks are being worked on at a time. I don’t mind walking a few blocks home from where I parked, that’s common. But the 7 blocks worth of cars vying for the same decreased quantity of street spots shouldn’t happen.

Looks like max 3 blocks in any direction. Max 900ft according to Google maps.

I agree with you in terms of local streets not being highways, but cyclists also benefit from well maintained roads.

If you can't deal with 5 days of reduced parking for infrastructure, you are welcome to pony up for a reserved spot.

I don’t think we’re understanding each other but thanks for the advice.

As a car owner I am entitled to parking heavily subsidized by tax payers directly in front of my home and if that's not provided I am being oppressed by the evil leftist nazis.
