Action Alert!
3-Day Countdown:
Get 1000 Comments to STB by April 7
The federal Surface Transportation Board needs to hear from you
that you want a full environmental study of the Harsimus Branch
before Conrail is allowed to walk away.
Here's How to File in a Few Easy Steps
2. Enter, in the first four boxes, AB 167 1189 X
3. Enter your contact information, your comment, and Submit.
Guidelines for Comments
Guidelines for comments are at the Coalition web site. If you have only a minute, just write: I want a full environmental study of the entire Harsimus Branch.
If you can, spend a few more moments and describe, IN YOUR OWN WORDS, what environmental impacts Conrail's abandonment and demolition will have on our neighborhoods.
Please Note: The Harsimus Branch is not just the
Embankment on Sixth Street; the right of way that Conrail is
abandoning extends from the Hudson River waterfront to the
Embankment and from the western end of the Embankment into the Village
area and along an edge of the Jersey City and Harsimus Cemetery. The
Cemetery is a Revolutionary War and War of 1812 historic site as
well as a historic burial place for Jersey City families. A full
environmental impact study for the whole right of way should help
decisionmakers make good choices about this important corridor.
