Road Repaving, Steampunk Shakespeare, Community Meetings This Week in Hoboken

Hoboken drivers should expect detours and parking restrictions in some parts of town early in the week as road repaving work that had been scheduled for last week, but was delayed by weather conditions, has been rescheduled for Monday and Tuesday. 

Paving on 4th Street from Sinatra Drive to Hudson Street and 12th Street from Willow Avenue to Bloomfield Street has been rescheduled for Monday, while paving on Madison Street from 11th Street to 15th Street and Monroe Street from 3rd Street to 6th Street is set for Tuesday.

Residents interested in the local theatre scene can check out the Hudson Shakespeare Company's new Steampunk twist on "Macbeth." The free show, directed by Noelle Fair who has created a new movement and music-based adaptation of the popular play, runs Monday at 7 p.m. in Sinatra Park. Patrons are encouraged to bring a lawn chair or blanket for the performance.

If you missed the first two but are interested in Carmelo Garcia's plan to revitalize the city's public housing stock, the third in a series of four public forums on Vision 20/20 is scheduled for Wednesday at 6 p.m. at 221 Jackson St.

Also on Wednesday at 6 p.m., Mayor Dawn Zimmer will hold a launch party to kick off her re-election campaign at Chris and Albie Manzo-owned Little Town NJ on Sinatra Drive.

The Hoboken Fair Housing Association will hold a meeting Thursday night from 7 to 9 to discuss the effect that the ongoing property revaluation will have on small landlords and tenants. The meeting will be held at the Community Church of Hoboken, located at 606 Garden Street.

Also on Thursday, residents are invited to attend a community meeting at the Fox Hill Gardens community room, located 311 13th Street, to provide input on Phase 2 improvements to Legion Park. The meeting runs from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.
