Future Light Rail Proposal
In 2002, New Jersey Transit released information on their website about a second phase of the Newark Rail Link. The first phase of the project is the completed Newark Light Rail line. The Newark Rail Link is a divided part of a former proposed project called the Newark-Elizabeth Rail Link (NERL). The project has since been divided into the Union County Light Rail (UCLR) and the Newark Rail Link (NRL). The release on NJ Transit's website proposed light rail stations for this second segment at Mulberry Street and Market Street (near the Prudential Center), Government Center at Mulberry Street and Lincoln Park/Symphony Hall at Camp Street in the Coast neighborhood before proceeding to Newark Airport [ [http://www.njtransit.com/an_cp_project012.shtml Newark Rail Link MOS-2] , accessed November 2,2007] . The release has likely been removed from the site due to lack of funding for such a project at this time [ [http://www.rpa.org/pdf/TTFpressrelease71105.pdf] , accessed November 2, 2007] . Currently Military Park Station and Penn Station are the closest stations to Government Center.
