Irvington from the driver's seat
Irvington is about 17 minutes from our Linden yard; the calls here run on Garden State Parkway, Springfield Avenue and Clinton Avenue and the town's own streets and lots.
A dense residential township wedged between Newark and the Parkway with narrow streets, tight street parking and a lot of older cars. Springfield Avenue and the Parkway exits carry the traffic; most calls are dead batteries, flats and cars that will not start on a side street.
Almost entirely street parking, often bumper to bumper on both sides. We usually use skates or a wheel-lift to pull a boxed-in car forward before loading.
Garden State Parkway
Exits 143 and 144 sit inside the township; the shoulders here are narrow and the ramps back up at rush hour.
Springfield Avenue
The main commercial strip from Newark toward Maplewood; constant curbside parking and double-parking.
Clinton Avenue
Cross-town connector to Newark; potholes and tight lanes.
Stuyvesant Avenue
North-south through the center of town; residential with cars parked on both sides.
Commuter lots
Dead batteries and lockouts at Irvington Bus Terminal on Springfield Avenue are regular roadside calls, most of them early morning and evening.
