I’ve always wondered why. It would make it so much easier to access LSP. It can be elevated enough so boats can pass underneath.

As someone from STL who lives in Jersey City now, I approve of this message.

There are hundreds of boats in the way.

Even if someone did decide to spend money on this, the channel is so narrow it would be impossible to reach a high enough elevation on this supposed path to allow boats to pass under it and still have the path be be ADA accessible. Unless you're installing an elevator too.

Also, it's completely absurd and will never happen. It takes approximately 20 minutes to walk from liberty state park from this location, 10 minutes on a light rail or bicycle, 5 minutes in a car, and 1 minute on a ferry.
