Junk law: Defusco omits NJ state bicycle safety regulations

Councilman DeFusco risking the health of yet another Hoboken resident: NO MASK, AGAIN!

Allow me to direct your attention to yet another DeFusco legislative-turd. 

On Wednesday's meeting agenda, he's sponsored an ordinance to make the City (Hoboken Parking Authority) a registration authority for bicycle-parking.  The City would permit annual bicycle parking permits in 'any municipal garage" for $52/year, as long as they meet nebulous "safety standards": working front and rear lights.    

 

Now, utilizing city garages for bicycles is not necessarily a bad idea.  But why make the City responsible for registration and inspection of bicycles for compliance with "safety standards." 

Moreover, DeFusco's poorly written law omits Title 39 New Jersey statutes for bicycles in  Motor Vehicles and Traffic Regulations.  

If DeFusco wants to codify "safety standards" for City of Hoboken registration, they must also meet state's "safety standards."  DeFusco's law does not address New Jersey statutes requiring brakes, an audible signal, rear and front night lights that are visible at up to 500 feet.

  1. SHOCKING NEW DEEP STATE CONSPIRACY REVEALED!

    We can now confirm that operatives of the Deep State have CONSPIRED to TRICK the Great Republican National Committee into holding its nominating convention in a city with insufficient hotel space in a state that is KNOWN to have a rising incidence of covid-19!

    There has NEVER been a question of who the Heroic nominee will be. Obviously the goal of the Deep State is to bring 10s of 1000s of God's deeply committed Republicans into a space where social(ist) distancing will not be practiced and Deep State face coverings will not be worn.

    It gets worse! The Deep State is recommending that the hotel overflow, which is disproportionately comprised of upper age groups with related health issues - be housed in OCEAN LINERS! These are nothingmore than giant floating petri dishes INTENDED to bring MASS DEATH to our members.

    What's more the (DEEP) state in question refuses to provide current hospital data to the public. Monumental cover-up!

    The Deep State Communist Antifa ISIS Forced Consumption of Gay Wedding Cake Revolution is finally upon us! They have planned an audacious mass murder of our most devoted supporters!

    They must be stopped! Please join us in finding out who is behind this MASSIVE CONSPIRACY and bring them to justice once and for all! Be on the look out for Deep State Operatives planning and promoting this MASSACRE and report them to the Only Trustworthy Authorities, the ones at Qanon, before it is too late!

  2. So his Hudson County Handlers effed up again. It's almost entertaining. At least the rabid chihuahua dresses like the caricature he is.

    2. His handlers don't care if their press releases make sense for Hoboken they are paid to keep his name in play. Mayor Bhalla is getting good press and credit for actually doing positive things to keep Hoboken moving forward and that makes their client nervous .

  3. Providing bicycle parking in city garages is a good idea but doing so would require designating a specific area within the garage equipped with bike racks and a clear statement that the city is not responsible for any damage to or theft of bikes.

    Coupling the parking with safety requirements is dumb. It adds both administrative costs and potential liability for the City. The fact that the requirements DeFusco is including are already mandated by State law makes the proposal even dumber.
