00:00Do you want more green space options in Jersey City?
00:03If yes, that's exactly what the Bergen Arches Preservation Coalition is working on doing.
00:09Our organization focuses on making the Bergen Arches an active greenway
00:14that connects to the Essex Hudson Greenway and the 6th Street Embankment.
00:17But we also focus on creating this education around the arches,
00:21being that not many people know it exists.
00:23Many people who have lived in Jersey City their whole lives
00:25don't even know it's right below them
00:27with this great opportunity to become a potential bikeway or greenway
00:31or something even bigger than that.
00:33I think this will create a sort of bigger movement
00:36of activating green space that already exists in Jersey City.
00:40If you look at a Google Earth map,
00:42you'll notice there is a lot of green space.
00:44It's just not accessible.
00:45Taking these already existing green spaces and activating them
00:49will sort of build it into the urban fabric
00:52and then also activate all this green space
00:55that is lacking in Journal Square and throughout the city.
00:57We hope to build out a mini-museum.
01:00We have elements related to rail history,
01:02conservation, the neighborhood.
01:04There is a huge amount of thought and research
01:06that the city has put into this,
01:07that volunteers have put into this.
01:09We are here and excited to talk about all of that.
