Reply to comment by Juicey_J_Hammerman in 514 Mulberry Street - 367 units proposed in Ironbound by ScrollHectic

Last I heard, which admittedly was a while ago, is that a South St station is pretty much a no go because there isn't enough room for a platform given that 21 is a county road and not owned by the city.

I think there was a report/study put out by PATH that goes into that too. I have to imagine the county might be willing to accommodate if it’s a matter that.

The SB path track can easily go over 21 on a partial Viaduct over the Northbound Lanes. If they really wanted to build it, theyd find a way. Highways and roads are constantly realigned whenever the government wants to build rail or highways. Also keep in mind when the South Street station reactivation was dismissed that area was not seeing much Redevelopment. Since then, a major apartment building has been built right next to the old station on what used to be a former rail yard. You can still see the bridge that carried the siding over South Street just east of the bridge carrying the 4 main tracks. Developments like this will once again make the South Street Station viable.
