Same, I didnt expect anything to be honest. Props to NJ Transit for responding so quickly (I asked them because the walkway made a hole into the station)

You have a strong argument, BUT, playing devil's advocate it also says (paraphrasing) so long as public access rights exist therein. They might (unfairly) claim that due to covid and the tunnel being a small enclosed tube it should only be employees. It's a dumb argument to do that, but you have it right there in the deed that it shall (in legal terms there is nothing stronger) be open to the public too.

Good find.

I fully accept them closing in 2020 when Covid was new and unknown, and staying closed while they did full construction. The issue is its been 2.5 years and its time to give the space back to us. They have two security guards without masks sitting in the tube so they clearly dont care about them getting sick

You might want to ask the city clerk for any documents that may have amended or referenced this 50 year old document.

Yeah, the next question is did the city sign away public rights because the mayor got a $10 donation in 1986
