Join Embankment Preservation Coalition members at Barcade, 163 Newark Avenue, Jersey City, for an evening of talk about our project. The Coalition is gathering signatures for a comment to be sent to the Surface Transportation Board (STB), which is currently conducting a historic preservation review of the Harsimus Branch. The review, mandated by the National Historic Preservation Act, will contribute to STB decisions on the fate of the 150-year-old railway corridor and its historic massive stone Embankment on Sixth Street. Public opinion may help preserve these treasures and stave off the potential adverse effects of demolition on the National Historic Districts and the whole Downtown historic fabric.

And, have a beer for us--from noon to closing at 2 am, Barcade is sponsoring a fundraiser for the Coalition. The generous owners, two of whom live in Jersey City, are donating $1 to the Coalition for every beer sold during business hours.

Barcade is a neighborhood business that keeps it green, selling regionally sourced beers and using eco-friendly products and practices. With Barcade's focus on sustainability, it's natural that the business has been a Coalition sponsor. For more information, see the Barcade web site.
