Action
Alert!
2-Day
Countdown:
Get 1000
Comments to STB by April 7
Please don't delay! Get
your environmental comments into the federal Surface Transportation
Board. There are only two more days before their April 7
deadline. The STB 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 and fact-based Environmental Impact 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.
Here are some sample comments that
people have already lodged. Add your voice to theirs!
If you need more help, call Jenny
Meyer at 917-379-3455.
