The Embankment Launches New Website and Meeting Tonight, October 27, 2013

The Embankment in Jersey City

Check out The Embankment's new website at www.embankment.org!

There is also a meeting at 6 pm tonight, October 27th, at Grace Van Vorst Church for annual members and supporters of The Embankment Preservation Coalition.

In case you're not familiar, The Embankment is a historic elevated stone structure that at one time held up Pennsylvania Railroad tracks.  It runs for six blocks along Sixth Street, from Marin Blvd to Brunswick Street.

At approximately 27 feet tall, the Embankment could some day be Jersey City's own amazing Highline Park!

Summertime at the Sixth Street Embankment

Some nice flower boxes and plants have appeared alongside the Embankment on Sixth Street.  Hopefully signs of more good things to come!
