Liberty State Park in Jersey City, NJ’s only urban state park, is seemingly under constant threat of privatization and development; park advocates have fought many, many battles over the years to preserve the park as a free, open space for all. The latest proposals are for a marina on the south side of the park and for an expansion of the golf course onto Caven Point. More about each can be found in the following articles:
Each of these areas is very important both to nature and park-goers (more about Caven Point here; photos of both areas can be found here), so I’ve assembled some material for protesting these proposals. It’s designed to be printed on either standard letter (8.5″x11″) or tabloid (11″x17″) paper. Take your pick of the marina or the golf course in color or black-and-white. If you’re more on the crafty side, there are versions with crops and bleeds as well. Either right-click to download the link directly (select “Save link as…”) or select an image to preview, right-click, and select “Save as…”.
There will be a rally on Tuesday, January 30 at 10:00am at Liberty House Restaurant (north end of the park) in opposition to the marina plan; this coincides with a public hearing by the developer. *Update: The public hearing on the marina scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 30 has been postponed by the developer at the request of the DEP and not rescheduled yet. Hopefully this is good news…*
