If someone really wants to know, I would research The Record archives March 6 - 8, 2014.  There's a good chance that more information can be found.

I was in high school when this happened.  The entire school was talking about this the next day, and for days afterwards.  There was only one story being circulated around the school, and I certainly cannot vouche for the accuracy of that story.  I don't want to say more, only that the story being told now has been altered.  Yes, he was killed in his squad car when a train hit the car at the Atlantic Street railroad crossing. The part about the car stalling on the tracks due to mechanical reasons was not the story in 1980.  Thank you.

I think all the big projects planned for downtown Hackensack are going to involve similar pile driving.  The base geology is the base.

OK, so the "display window" will be filled with retail-looking things, and maybe some advertising. And the vehicle entrance is in the back.  Sounds better.  I am wondering if the setback is adequate for outside dining/seating for a restaurant.

I see there is just about 100% lot coverage, but I also recall that the roof will be green space for the residents and used for recreation.

Thanks for the photo and mini-drawing, I zoomed it to examine.  Looks like the lobby is on the corner, followed by a small office (unsure if that is the building mgmt office, or an office available for rent), then retail which is not very deep, and then the parking garage.

Based on the car symbols, it also looks like the parking garage's entry driveway is to Main Street, or is it just that the garage structure is there, with no storefront?  The pic is too fuzzy, can't tell.  Neither of those options are good, especially the first option. If someone knows the answer, please provide.

I only see 8 stories, what happened to 14?

I really think this is an excellent project, but in this case the Zoning or Planning Board did not do a good job steering the developer, tweeking this site plan. There are things that could have been done better.

If someone can tell us what is the footprint of the building, either in dimensions or square feet, that would help readers decide if 7500 sf of retail is enough.

That's interesting.  And where was HUMC when the city needed a partner for the trolley-bus that ran Main, Anderson, Prospect, and Essex ?  That could have made the difference in making it economically viable.  And with better mass-transit, there would be less employees looking for parking spaces at HUMC.  Isnt that their biggest problem ?

I was unaware of this.  Thank you for pointing out the problem.

These are newer storm drains that were advocated by environmental groups.  Back in the day, as they say, nobody cared about fish habitat being polluted.

my guess is that is surveying equipment.

The new park is a good idea, and I'm glad it survived after the funds were once redirected to fill potholes. It's one little part of the equation, including the new cultural arts center, to make downtown and vicinity attractive to young urban professionals who otherwise live in NYC, or move to Hoboken, the JC Waterfront, Montclair, and a few other destination communities.

Have they invested the big bucks to replace the old elevator, with the pull gate ?

OK. Just because SHE SAID she was in a romantic relationship with person xyz, doesn't mean that actually happened.  How does one prove that in court, I wonder ?  This will be interesting.

Throwing her lover under the bus.  Secrecy means nothing when $2m is on the line.  How convenient.  And what will Salkin's wife say about all of that.
