Sinatra Drive Redesign Open House
Residents and community members are invited to attend the Sinatra Drive Redesign Open House Tuesday, December 12th, from 6 to 7 pm. The event takes place in the City Hall ground floor conference room.
The public is encouraged to drop in, review, and provide feedback on the final plans and renderings for the Sinatra Drive redesign.  Project team representatives will be present to address your questions. 
The Sinatra Drive Redesign project will enhance a 0.7-mile stretch of Sinatra Drive between Fourth and Hudson Streets, introducing a new protected bike lane, greenery, and Vision Zero safety improvements. The design was shaped by insights gathered from two community surveys and four public meetings. For information regarding the project, click here.
🎁 Hoboken Police Department Toy Drive 🎁
The Hoboken Police Department’s Third Annual Sgt. Peter Zanin “Peachy” Toy Drive is in full swing. Named in memory of Sgt. Zanin, this year’s toy drive is coordinated with the Hoboken Fire Department and the Hoboken Office of Constituent Services to gather toys for families in need. 
These toys will be distributed at various events later this holiday season, including the Hoboken Grace Church Christmas Exchange and the Hoboken Housing Authority Winter Wonderland Party.
Residents can contribute unwrapped new toys, books, and other gifts at the following locations and times:

Coffee with Cohen … the home edition
On Tuesday, I hosted my 91st Coffee with Cohen community event with special guests, Chesleigh Meade, Director of Development for the Hoboken Community Center, and Toni Tomarazzo, Secretary of the Board.
We discussed the history of the Hoboken Food Pantry, including community support, upcoming events, and the best ways for folks to volunteer or contribute to support the Food Pantry’s important work. 
I also addressed the 800 Monroe Resiliency Park final concept design community meeting, the Holiday Banding Concert, the Sinatra Drive Redesign Community Open House, and the Hoboken Police Department’s “Peachy” Toy Drive. More than 40 people have already watched this event, which you can watch here. This event, and many past Coffee with Cohen events — are recorded and hosted on my Facebook page and you can watch them here.
