- Marion, Jersey City
Marion is a mostly residential neighborhood in Jersey City,
New Jersey . Marion is bordered on the east byJournal Square , on the north by Croxton, on the west by theHackensack River and on the south by Sip Avenue. Marion is a low-rise neighborhood that is home to several new housing developments, restaurants, LaPointe Park and the Marion Branch Public Library. Broadway,U.S. Route 1/9 , Sip Avenue and West Side Avenue are the main streets running through the neighborhood.Jersey City's mayor,
Jerramiah Healy has requested that Marion be given a stop on the PATH train at Broadway and West Side Avenue [ [http://hudsoncity.net/tubes/new-jc-station.html Newe PATH Station in Jersey City Marion: PATH Trains Hudson Tubes Hudson & Manhattan RR ] ] . There are a growing number of condos and other housing units being built in the Marion neighborhood and city officials feel a stop on the PATH system will be necessary to unclog the city streets and lessen the commute for residents. Officials feel a station would help to bolster development in the neighborhood, which has fewer cultural attractions than many Jersey City neighborhoods and is without a school. Public School #23 operates on Romaine Ave.References
