Description
This is actually regarding Central Ave between Newark and Hoboken Ave (map is not updated to show the new extension) - the street is incredibly dark at night and feels very unsafe for pedestrians. Are there plans for street lighting to be installed? The alternative street to get between Hoboken Ave and Newark Ave, Oakland Ave, doesn’t even have sidewalks and feels equally as unsafe...

I actually contacted the county about this and they said they are going to be installing temporary lighting until the permanent streetlights are installed.
Kind of crazy that they opened the road for cars and didn’t think about pedestrians.

Three new streetlight poles, each with two fixtures, one each for the roadway and sidewalk, were installed in the past year but are not lit.
I submitted an issue on this:

It was resolved, but now 2 of the 3 poles were removed and the 3rd is not lit.
I complained about the 3 new streetlights not being lit on 3 September 2022.

I corresponded with Richard Dwyer from PSE&G about this. The lights were finally powered up in January 2023.
Due to the high-rise construction at 626 Newark, two poles were recently removed and the 3rd pole, closest to Hoboken Ave., is not lit. The block is now very dark at night.
I notified PSE&G about the outages on 30 March. The job/order numbers are:

AJD Construction installed two lights for the pedestrian walkway, but they are not enough.
