Canal Crossing is a New Urbanism project on the eastern side of Jersey City, New Jersey between Jackson Hill in Greenville/Bergen-Lafayette and Liberty State Park. The approximately 111 acre area, previously designated for industrial and distribution uses has been re-zoned for transit-oriented residential and commercial use and the construction of a neighborhood characterized as a sustainable community. The name is inspired by the Morris Canal, which once traversed the district in a general north & south alignment.〔(Proposed Canal Crossing Redevelopment Plan )〕 The brownfield site must first undergo remediation of toxic waste, much of it left by PPG Industries The redevelopment plans call for 7,000 housing units,〔 mainly "mid-rise" buildings (with heights limited to five stories), and a greenway along the former canal, directly south of the 17-acre Berry Lane Park. 〔http://www.dresdnerrobin.com/berrylanepark/proj_over.html〕〔http://www.jerseycityindependent.com/2012/08/21/contaminated-land-in-ward-f-transforming-into-a-green-oasis-berry-lane-park/〕 Two branches of the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail (HBLR) system create the northern and eastern borders of Canal Crossing. A new station at Caven Point Avenue is proposed on the line between Bayonne and Hoboken Terminal along its eastern perimeter between current stations 〔 at Richard Street and Liberty State Park. The triangular shape area is bounded by Garfield Avenue on the west, and is accessible from the Newark Bay Extension of the New Jersey Turnpike at its southern tip.〔(Canal Crossing maps )〕 In October 2010, the city received notification of a $2.3 million TIGER grant for continued work on the project.〔 The funding was jeopardized by potential cuts being made in the House of Representatives, but was later allocated.
