With about a month left to summer, hurricane season is about to hit its peak. CBS News weather forecasters have reported that this season may be the strongest since 2012 when our area experienced Hurricane Sandy. In June, scientists predicted that this season would bring 10-16 named storms. That recently increased to 12-17. While the season may be active, it does not necessarily mean that the tri-state area will see major activity. (We sure hope not!)

Jersey City’s efforts to make the city more pedestrian and bike friendly are paying off. Jersey Digs highlighted Jersey City’s participation in the East Coast Greenway Alliance’s effort to create a bike trail the runs from Maine to Florida. Started in 1991, they wanted to create a 3000-mile bike path that would allow people to travel down the east coast of the US. As of now, 30% of the path are trails, with the other 70% still being shared traffic roads. However, by 2035 the alliance plans to have 100% of the path be trails. Jersey City has officially become part of path with a route starting at the Hoboken PATH station and heading out the Lincoln Highway towards Newark.

This year, Hoboken law enforcement officers will be participating in the 2016 Labor Day Statewide “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign. Beginning August 19 and running through September 5, local and state law enforcement officers will conduct sobriety checkpoints and roving patrols, looking for motorists who may be driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs. The national campaign is designed to raise awareness about the dangers of drinking and driving through high-visibility enforcement backed up by public educational efforts including national radio and television advertisements, posters, banners and mobile video display signs. The campaign has a zero-tolerance policy and if a person is caught driving under the influence, they will be immediately arrested.
