Why? Well, the reason behind this is the “Trump Plaza: Jersey City“, the multi-million project on Washington Boulevard named after the celebrity Donald Trump.

The City Council thinks “it is both fitting and appropriate to commemorate the importance of these projects.”

However, I have read several JC residents feel otherwise. What has Trump done in and for Jersey City to deserve a street name?
