Reply to comment by Kalebxtentacion in Went for a lunch time walk around Newark Penn station because it was warm out and I've been staring at this water walkway for years and never got down to it. seems like a great spot yet nobody's ever here It has swinging benches and what looks like eventually will be vendor space by Jimmy_kong253

It isn't, I suspect the City has to still get approval from Amtrak and Edison Parking for an easement to connect the two ends.

It's been years Edison parking just redid their parking gates on that lot a few weeks ago so I guess it's going to be even more years

I thought the developers company behind the Shaq towers bought the land were the park would connect to the other side behind the Newark legal building and the smaller tower next to it. As for Amtrak I can’t see them not approving it but that bridge is pulling up to 100 years old, I imagine them wanting to fix or replace it first then approve.

Yes, the land across McCarter Highway from NJPAC. I think I remember seeing work being done on the bulkhead on the Passaic River over the last year or so.

I hate Edison/Goettsman. They are the biggest stumbling block to Newark progress.
