In Hoboken, New Jersey, there has been a new bill passed for $14 million dollars in order to
make Washington Street much more pedestrian friendly. This is yet another attempt at making
New Jersey safer for bicyclists and other people who would rather walk than drive to their
destination. Many corners are being implemented with cross walks and stop lights in order to
boost the safety of its inhabitants. There are also going to be two bike lanes, one going north,
and one going south, to keep bicyclists out of the way of cars and out of danger.

The PATH train on 33rd street has been temporarily shut down as of yesterday.

Although New Jersey Transit is now honoring all PATH tickets for travelers and commuters to
get back and forth to work, passengers are still in an outrage. Officials claim that this is all due
to a track condition because of an electrical fire in New York City. Those who ride the PATH
have succombed to their aggravation and are now moving their thoughts to social media to
attempt to try and resolve the issue.

that night. Kovacs was a sophomore who was studying environmental and biological sciences

The United States of America has launched its new military stealth jet, the F22. Coming in at a
price far more than any of us could imagine, a whooping $412 million dollars, the militaristic
vehicle has made its debut with the Air Force and has been used against the forces of ISIL in
Syria and Iraq. The jets cost, which was supposed to be three times less than that, is still
having problems with its inner mechanics. The Air Force claims that they have been working on,
and solved the problem, but some officials are skeptical after the same plane had gone down in
2010 after technical difficulties, thereby killing the pilot inside.
