Traffic delays & mass transit
Based on prior years, residents and visitors who drive are advised to expect four hours or more of traffic and delays exiting Hoboken after the fireworks and at least two hour delays to exit municipal parking garages. In addition to delays, the gridlock can create a situation where public safety vehicles cannot effectively respond to emergencies, so the City strongly urges visitors to take mass transit. Options include the PATH, Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, NY Waterway ferries, or NJ Transit commuter rail or bus. For additional travel information, visit: www.hobokennj.org/visit/how-to-get-here. Visitors looking for parking will be directed to municipal garages B (28 2^nd St) and D (215 Hudson St).

Heightened security
As in years past, there will be heightened security, with numerous checkpoints staffed by law enforcement personnel along the entire waterfront area. Checkpoint entrances will be located at: 1^st St & Sinatra Dr, 2^nd St & Sinatra Dr, 3^rd St & Sinatra Dr, 4^th St & River St, 11^th St & Sinatra Dr, 12^th St & Shipyard Ln, 14^th St and Shipyard Ln. The stairway from the Babbio Center to the waterfront will be closed. Any person entering these designated checkpoints will be prohibited from entering with the following items: backpacks, fireworks, coolers, glass bottles, cans, grills & barbeque materials, propane tanks, weapons, tents, alcohol, and other items not in the interest of public safety. Only factory sealed beverages will be permitted, excluding alcohol. All items are subject to inspection prior to entry into the checkpoint areas.

Fireworks in Hoboken!

Here are some fabulous pictures my client took 3 weeks ago from his gorgeous terrace facing Manhattan.  Not sure why there were fireworks that night, maybe one of the Italian Feasts..

Enjoy! 

Thanks Francesco!
