The $100,000 constructed fence prevents countless of commuters who walk via Hasbrouck Heights area (west of the train stop) with no convenient access to the waiting area. This fence also prevents local workers from accessing Hasbrouck Heights side business' from Teterboro area, many use bicycles to get to their jobs.
There is no convenient pedestrian access to the train stop.
The stop has now been rendered useless to ~75% of those who actually use the location.
Citing "Safety Concerns" NJ Transit has made an UNFAIR and IRRATIONAL decision!
Furthermore, "Teterboro\Williams Ave" stop is extremely limited, wait listed parking lot not to mention its well above average cost ($480/year!).
The ignored and forgotten stop is bypassed on weekends and now further being delivered another blow to many of the loyal passengers.
Local commuters are urging NJ Transit to reconsider this decision for its passenger, i.e. customers!
Solutions could have been and still can be implemented to prevent this,signers of this petition have chimed in with great suggestions that can be implemented. A fence, is NOT one of them:
1) apedestrian crossing w/crossing gate and flashing train signal at dead-end Williams Ave
2) opening ONE train door on the Heights side with a monitored conductor present.
Why this permanent obstacle have been put into place is an unfair measure and a disservice to loyal and local NJTransit customers.
Local commuters are being forced to walk on Highways at night to circumvent this fence, that is simply NOT safer!!!
Or Call NJ Transit and let your voice be heard!

NJ Transit thinks they can hide behind safety excuses while trapping commuters behind this ridiculous fence. I am currently hounding their offices for a real explanation because their silence proves they know this barrier is a total disaster for our town.

The momentum behind this push is undeniable even if NJ Transit continues to ignore our desperation. Those bureaucrats in their offices thought they could silence us with a fence and a flimsy excuse about safety. We are proving that this community will not be blocked from the transit access we rely on to survive.

I now can't use this station at all to visit my friend in Hasbrouck Heights, where I used it a couple of times a week before.
May I also point out that the station is almost invisible from the street and there are no signs marking its presence. Not only is it nearly impossible to reach by foot or by bicycle, it is also incredibly difficult to reach and/or find by car, especially at night.
I used to walk through here every morning to get to work but now its a huge detour. NJ Transit really didnt think this one through.
SERIOUSLY WHO THOUGHT A FENCE WAS A GOOD IDEA??? FIX THIS MESS NOW.
Ridiculous waste of money. Just put a gate in the fence and let people walk through like they always did.
Restrictions to transportation should be considered when planning!
The solution is to built a proper rail crossing please

Over a year that this is going on. Are we to believe that only a little over 100 people use this train?
