Snowpocalypse Watch: Portal Bridge Meeting Postponed
By Jon Whiten • Feb 9th, 2010 • Category: Blog, News
The public meeting tomorrow night to discuss the Portal Bridge project has been postponed to an unspecified date in March. As we reported Monday, advocates from the East Coast Greenway Alliance were urging supporters to attend the meeting to advocate for a bicycle/pedestrian path to be included in the more than $1 billion project to reconstruct the vital rail link that takes the Northeast Corridor line over the Hackensack River.
We’ll let you know when the meeting gets rescheduled. In the meantime, you can still submit written comments to Laurie Cotter, deputy county administrator, 567 Pavonia Ave., Jersey City, NJ 07305. The county asks that you send a copy of your comments to the DEP as well — New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Green Acres Program, Bureau of Legal Services and Stewardship, P.O. Box 412, Trenton, NJ 08625-0412.
