On April 13th, the City of Hoboken permitted Prime Cycle to close off the pavilion for its outdoor classes after trying to have them share space with the Hoboken Little League at the Maria Pepe Batting Cages was negatively received by players, coaches, and parents alike.
“Prime Cycle has installed a privacy fence around the gazebo, which protects our equipment, ensures the privacy of our riders, enables us to ride rain or shine, and still allows you to see the gorgeous NYC views!,” their website says.

On Wednesday, March 3rd, the Hoboken City Council, which also serves as the cityâs redevelopment authority, will cast one of its most fateful votes.
It will determine the future of 30 acres north of 14th Street, the North End, which represents the final large undeveloped tract of land in town.

“Not only will this newly revised settlement preserve and protect our waterfront from development, it also adds almost 1.5 acres of public, open space in West Hoboken that would have otherwise been developed as a residential building,” Mayor Ravi Bhalla said in a joint statement.
“This deal is a win-win-win for Hoboken: preserving our waterfront, adding open space and adding commercial retail space while revitalizing an area of downtown Hoboken.”
The proposed agreement notes that Ironstate’s obligation to transfer 1.4 acres of undeveloped land at 8th and Monroe Streets to the city replaces the previous requirement of Ironstate to build the City a new municipal garage at 256 Observer Highway.
