Mana Contemporary, at 888 Newark Ave., is the brainchild of artist and entrepreneur Eugene Lemay. With fellow artist and Mana founding partner Yigel Ozeri, he has quickly developed an anonymous patch of Journal Square into a world-class arts destination. Composed of warehouses that will eventually be connected via a Richard Meier-designed sculpture garden, Mana is a one-stop shop for the entire arts community. The professional, working artists who rent Mana’s spacious studios have access to in-house framing, crating, and shipping services—not to mention an artist-run foundry, a silkscreen studio, and a café and beer garden. It’s all part Mana’s mission to allow artists working in different media to collaborate, share ideas, and inspiration. For serious collectors, Mana provides ample space to store and even exhibit their prized collections among five view slideshow (5 images) galleries. There is also a custom-furniture design business for museums and galleries and a large glass building slated to host art fairs and large-scale installations.

  • Making Jersey City's Park System World Class
    MAKING JERSEY CITY’S PARK SYSTEM WORLD CLASS Jersey City has a very good park system, but it could be elite and truly world class. To take the next step up to that elite class will require boldness, creativity, and investment. By renovating existing parks, following through with the new parks that are in various stages of planning or development, completing the Hackensack and Hudson River walkways, and taking the audacious initiative to connect our waterfronts by a series of greenways will enrich the lives of our citizens and make Jersey City’s park system worthy of global attention. A Public Private Partnership for Nonstop Renovation Jersey City began the process of creating a parks master plan to rate the condition and then to renovate Jersey City’s 67 municipal parks a little over a decade ago. In 2008, after numerous public meetings and robust public input, a 10 year detailed plan to improve Jersey City’s park system was put in place that detailed every upgrade that every park needed and estimated the costs of these upgrades. Over the next several years, serious progress was seen. Ercel Webb Park in Ward F, Muhammad Ali and Bayview parks in Ward A, Hamilton Park in Ward E and Ward B’s Boyd McGuiness Park were all substantially improved under the plan. However, the City simply abandoned the plan shortly after Mayor Fulop took office, as he focused his attention, the City’s resources and public relations on just a couple of park improvements. Consequently, parks such as Pershing Field in the Heights have been left to deteriorate and plans to improve it have been shelved.

  • 2. EXISTING CONDITIONS 2.1 History of Circulation in Jersey City 2.2
    Jersey City Master Plan / Circulation Element 2. EXISTING CONDITIONS As part of the background work in developing this Circulation Element, a detailed assessment of the history of circulation in Jersey City and an inventory of the baseline conditions of the City’s transportation system were prepared. 2.1 History of Circulation in Jersey City Photo Source: Jersey City Division of City Planning Strategically located on the Hudson River and with easy access to Upper New York Bay, the City of Jersey City was an important center for shipping and maritime activity during the peak of the industrial revolution of the early nineteenth century. This status was reinforced when the Morris Canal was completed at Jersey City in 1836, giving the City shared direct linkage with the Delaware River at Phillipsburg and with important inland points, such as Newark and Paterson. Jersey City continued to serve as a transit point between Upper New York Bay and inland points to the west, but as the industrial revolution progressed, new technologies enabled the development of newer, more efficient forms of transport than canals. Consequently, railroads followed and terminals were constructed along the Hudson River waterfront and other points in the City. One example is the historic Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal, which originally opened in 1864 and is located in what is now Liberty State Park. With terminals located on the Hudson River, it was not long before ideas about a rail linkage to New York City began to evolve. This led to the construction of what is now known as the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) train, which commenced operations in 1907 after many arduous years of tunneling under the Hudson River.
