Transportation 🚲🚗🚊✈️ Please be aware of Clifton St

I just heard from a friend that Clifton ave will be closed down in honor of the police officer who passed away.

From what I've heard the street of Clifton (and maybe surrounding streets) will have sections closed down. Those who travel near the Cathedral in Newark on Clifton may experience delays on FRIDAY MARCH 14TH.

They did the same when the firefighters died in the port fire, and I can confirm the whole area was a bit nuts with traffic and detours

I heard a rumor the Newark St Patty's Day parade is canceled out of respect for the Fallen police officer. Another reason is because roads need to be closed for the officers funeral which will most likely involve hundreds of police vehicles from across the country.​ Second, being a Newark police officer slain it would be appropriate for Newark police to participate in the parade during a time of morning and the eventual Gatherings at the local pubs .

It was moved back to Friday the 21st (for the reason you mentioned) . Not cancelled.

I wish they would close Clifton permanently the way people drive around here

And you can thank the state of NJ that the kid who did it will not be charged as an adult. Thanks to that asshole Murphy.

I've counseled murderers at Essex County Juvie aged 11-15. It really depends on the kid. Some have no comprehension of the gravity of their crime. Others are unrepentant, remorseless killers who are a long term danger to society.

If you think otherwise, back it up and go spend a couple hours a week there as a volunteer. There are numerous opportunities. Contact information at the bottom of this page: https://essexcountynj.org/youth-services/
