Mayor putting PT out of business?

In a manner of speaking.

No one -- myself included -- wants to miss Her Honor's presentation on transit-oriented development proposed for downtown Plainfield and the areas surrounding two long-abandoned rail stations in the West End. For me, that will mean a curtailed publishing schedule tomorrow.

Here are the details --

Monday, April 23
8:15 AM -- don't dawdle!
Raritan Valley Rail Coalition Meeting
Westfield Town Council Chambers
Municipal Building
425 East Broad Street
(Parking available in Mindowaskin Park)

About a decade ago, the late Phyllis Mason was one of the founding influences in the RVRC, and several rousing meetings were held in Plainfield over the years.

The group has consistently lobbied NJT for improvements to stations and services along the Raritan Valley Line as well as maintaining steady pressure for another trans-Hudson tunnel and other improvements that would eventually give commuters a one-seat ride into New York's Penn Station.

You are sure to find the presentation informative and will also meet a good number of people from neighboring communities interested in NJT's contribution to the vitality of the Raritan Valley.

See you there!
