Hasbrouck Heights Mayor Sides With Commuters, Wants Improved Rail Access

From Hasbrouck Heights Patch 2/14/13.  A man who started a petition against NJ Transit for fencing off access to the Teterboro-Williams Avenue train stop brought his plight to borough officials Tuesday night who agreed something needs to be done to improve rail access to the borough.

Lino Brescia says he had an easy commute in and out of New York City at that train stop until NJ Transit constructed a fence which now blocks any access to the stop from the Hasbrouck Heights side of Williams Avenue.

It's believed the intention was to make the stop "safer" says Brescia however he and other commuters who used to cross the tracks at the Hasbrouck Heights side to board the train now have to walk up the Route 46 ramp onto the highway which he says is much more dangerous.

He says other stops along the rail line are wide open with people walking over the tracks such as in Hackensack.
