You can also use the 'map maker' at the bottom to recommend the location of the 'trail' through the mall. They review those was well.

Went on Gmaps and reported it. Didn't know you could do that. Thanks.

The curry clerk has a copy of the ordinance requiring Newport to let pedestrians through 24/7.

Problem: Google Maps is sending Newport PATH bound pedestrians from the Hamilton Park area three blocks out of their way around the mall to reach the station. Same for our in-bound friends.
This is an unnecessary and tedious route for visitors and guests looking to visit our city, also for those who want to find a PATH station on their way to Manhattan. Solution: Let Google Maps know there's a problem. Click the "Report a problem" button on the bottom right of the Google Maps screen linked below. Tell them we have a protected pedestrian-right-of-way allowing us 24 hour passage through the mall and Newport office tower to the PATH station on Washington Blv. This route is handicap friendly and available to all. Here is an example map: Hamilton Park to Newport PATH Google says they welcome user input about things they missed, like pedestrian passageways. It looks like they are adding these items to their indoor mapping initiative (malls, airports, etc.). So perhaps we won't have to tell our friends to ignore the online directions someday. btw...I can't find any web info to cite about the Newport right-of-passage the old timers fought so hard for back in the '80s. Any suggestions? Perhaps someone could update the Newport Center Mall Wikipedia page...
