There are a number of lots out on 1&9 that might work well.. including a rather large lot of a former Occidental Chemical plant that has plenty of room for a building and parking.

Ah, "public suggestion theater'!!! How to make people feel less powerless without actually giving them any power. When I was in HS there was a plan to put a sculpture in the lake behind the school. A "professional sculptor" was brought in and student suggestions solicited, but it soon became clear that it was all about the "artists vision". Ironically it never got installed because they never actually got town permission for it.

What I'd like to know is why this precinct needs to be on very valuable retail and residential Central Ave property. There could be quite a nice high tax base building there on that R-2 lot and the precinct almost anywhere. The East District seems to manage tucked away on 7th St.

JERSEY CITY ? A police precinct that serves the Heights section of the city is due for a total makeover after 118 years.

A new North District police station is planned on Central Avenue between Sherman Place and Hutton Street, across the street from the current one, which was built in 1901, city officials said.

Plans for the new station include a parking deck, which will free up street parking for residents, Jersey City spokeswoman Kimberly Wallace-Scalcione said. Currently, police vehicles are parked on Central Avenue and surrounding streets.
