Several members of the public addressed the council during the public comment period on transportation, ADA parking and recent local elections.

An attendee proposed a Hoboken‑only, frequent, electric bus loop with stops roughly every two blocks and headways of about three and a half minutes. The speaker suggested a feasibility study to determine fleet size and ridership and said the system could be funded in part by a modest local tax increase. "My dream is that no one would walk more than a couple of blocks to reach a bus and no one would wait more than 3 and a half minutes," the speaker said.

Pascualina Anunciad described prolonged delays and confusing instructions in applying for ADA parking placards and local handicap signage, saying repeated requests for paperwork and conflicting instructions had caused frustration. She asked officials to explain why steps could be rejected and said the process had left her frustrated after years of applying.

Former candidate Manuel Rivera thanked Sixth Ward voters after an election, congratulated the winner and pledged to remain involved in community advocacy. Several other speakers, including Patricia Waiters, commented on legal‑fee increases tied to city contracts and waterfront work; officials said some costs for rebuild‑by‑design easement work are reimbursed by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and that MS4 testing is a city obligation.
