Boys and Girls Club Pool Re-Opens, National Night Out This Week in Hoboken

On Tuesday, The Hoboken Police Department will hold its annual National Night Out event, intended to raise awareness of police programs and encourage community-police interaction. This year's event begins with a 4 p.m. proclamation ceremony at City Hall followed by a parade to Church Square Park, where events and activities for kids and families are scheduled until 8:30 p.m. The night is being dedicated in memory of longtime city employee and volunteer Freddie Moret, who died of complications from asthma earlier this year while vacationing in Italy.

The Boys and Girls Club pool, which opened last Tuesday only to close again after springing a leak the following day, is set to re-open Monday.

The pool, which opened two weeks later than anticipated on Tuesday due to problems encountered while replacing the old Sandy-damaged pool, was set to undergo repairs Saturday. It's open to the public Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., until Aug. 30.

Traffic and parking restrictions kick in Tuesday as road repaving work that's expected to hinder access to and from residences and businesses in all four corners of the city begins.

Construction work begins Tuesday on 12th Street between Willow Avenue and Bloomfield Street, and Madison Street between 11th Street and 15th Street. On Wednesday, paving projects on Monroe Street between 3rd Street and 6th Street, and 4th Street between Hudson Street and Sinatra Drive are expected to kick in.

Hoboken City Council convenes Wednesday at 7 p.m. for a regularly scheduled meeting. The agenda is available on the city website.

The second of four public forums on Vision 20/20, the controversial public housing revitalization plan, is set for Friday morning at 10. The meeting will be held at 220 Adams St.

Hudson Restaurant Week continues this week in Hoboken. Forty-seven participating restaurants throughout the county (22 are in Hoboken) will offer prix fixe lunches from $13 to $15 and dinners from $25 to $38 through Friday.
