📰 News we're reading

1. Hoboken Council Moves To Extend Bar Hours After NJ Governor Visits (patch.com) — Hoboken officials are moving to temporarily extend bar hours so residents can watch late-night World Cup matches, following a visit and proclamation from Gov. Mikie Sherrill. The proposed ordinance would let certain licensed bars sell alcohol between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. on specific match days in June and July, with added rules on noise, lines, and fees, and Hoboken also set to benefit from new state World Cup celebration funding.    

2. Hoboken Partners With HERO Campaign to Combat Drunk Driving (hudpost.com) — Hoboken is rolling out a citywide partnership with the John R. Elliott HERO Campaign, offering free soft drinks to designated drivers at participating bars and restaurants and promoting a HERO pledge via QR codes around town. A Hoboken police vehicle has been wrapped with the campaign’s branding, and officers will hand out HERO decals, all backed by state highway safety funding to curb drunk driving locally.    

3. Hoboken City Council delays final budget vote as work to reduce tax hike continues (hudsoncountyview.com) — Hoboken’s City Council has postponed final budget approval as members try to shrink a proposed municipal tax increase that was nearly 19 percent, with some plans aiming closer to 10.5 percent or even lower. Council members and the administration will keep negotiating cuts and revenue ideas, with leaders promising to finish the budget by the second June meeting.    

4. 3 Nerve-Flossing Moves to Help Runners Address Common Aches (runnersworld.com) — A Hoboken-based physical therapist at Bespoke Physical Therapy explains how “nerve flossing” can ease sciatic and other running-related nerve pain, and shares three specific exercises you can try at home. The piece stresses when these moves are helpful, when they might aggravate symptoms, and why runners should still see a professional to uncover underlying causes of nerve issues.    

5. Jersey City to Pilot a Camera-Assisted Parking Enforcement Program (hobokengirl.com) — Hoboken drivers may want to watch Jersey City’s new camera-assisted parking pilot, which follows Hoboken’s own CLEAR enforcement program from 2025. Jersey City plans to target double parking, blocked bike lanes, and loading zones starting as early as this summer, with public surveys and ward meetings shaping where cameras go.
