How to Really VIEW the Map of Livingston, NJ

Posted by admin on Nov 19, 2009 in 07039

Here’s a neat little feature of Google Maps that most people don’t know about.

While you probably have figured out the satellite view and the real-time traffic overlay features, there’s also another neat little feature that lets you discover all the videos uploaded to YouTube, photos and webcams that are geocoded to different locations while you are viewing any section of Google Maps.

Whenever you upload videos and photos, more and more sites like Picasa for photos and YouTube for videos are letting you tag the media files with actual geographic locations.  Google is taking this geo data and integrating it with their map data just for you.

Check it out and *SEE* what’s going on around town!

It’s a Rough Journey To Livingston

Posted by admin on Oct 30, 2009 in highway, route 280, traffic

If you’ve been commuting on Route 280, you’ve undoubtedly noticed the CONSTRUCTION that seems to go on for ages.

Guess what, it’s been confirmed that Route 280 from exit 6 to exit 13 will remain in the rough milled condition till summer of 2010!

According to the Star Ledger, they’re spending over $23 Million to repair the 18 miles of Rt 280 that carry over 100,000 cars daily.  It’s the first repaving project on the highway since 1975 apparently.

You’d think $23 Million would get a quicker time line than 1 year for repairs!

Get ready — On Thursday September 29th at 7:30pm, the Livingston Library will present “Mark Twain’s Last Stand.”

Perfomer Alan Kitty combines Twain’s wit and insight about the human condition in a show filled with socially charged humor. Mr. Kitty’s impersonation as a posthumous Twain explores the parallels between his century and ours. Witty, humorous and topical!

Obey the Signs

Posted by admin on Oct 4, 2009 in be nice, livingston, street signs

It’s kind of funny to think that someone’s job is to budget for, then design, produce and arrange for installation of these signs in town…

Seen around town in Livingston, NJ. . .

Do you know where this sign is posted?

Here’s the 411 on the 911 in Livingston NJ

Posted by admin on Sep 16, 2009 in 911, emergency, livingston, nj, township

Here’s a big FYI:

Livingston township is using a system called SWIFT911 for high speed notification of town residents of urgent news. The key feature of the system is the capability of delivering pre-recorded messages to the entire community via telephone, cell phone, email and text messaging.

This system will be used by more municipal departments now, including:

  • the Tax Department, for property tax notifications;
  • the Water Department, for water maintenance and outage notifications;
  • Engineering, for messages about road construction on Township roadways; and
  • the Police Department will continue to utilize it for emergencies.

The Swift911 system uses a publicly available list of phone numbers for both residents and businesses.

BUT if you’re number is NOT listed in the telephone book, your number is probably not in the system.

Residents and businesses can add or remove their phone numbers from the system online by visiting www.livingstonnj.org or by clicking on the Swift911 icon above to get to the township website page with details. The service can also add cell phones numbers and e-mail addresses.
