MESSAGE FROM HOBOKEN MAYOR BHALLA:
As you know, a major priority for my administration is to transform the last piece of our waterfront at Union Dry Dock into a public park and walkway. Our waterfront is the true gem of Hoboken, and we now have a once in a lifetime opportunity to transform this last piece of land into public, open space - just like the rest of our waterfront.
Unfortunately, we face a real threat with NJ Transit and NY Waterways teaming up to potentially take over this land for a refueling and heavy industrial ferry maintenance site, without adding any additional ferry service to Hoboken. And, I'm very concerned about the environmental impact of a maintenance and refueling site on our waterfront.
That's why it's critical that you make your voices heard. Please join me for a community rally at 6:00 pm on Friday, April 20 at Maxwell Park that I'm hosting with local advocates and residents as we urge the State and NJ Transit to sideline this misguided effort.
Best,
Ravi S. Bhalla
Hoboken Mayor
P.S. This Saturday at 10 am is our annual spring fling volunteer event at Church Square Park! We'll be hosting a number of community clean-up projects in our parks and public spaces - hope to see you there!"
