Two quick notes

First, today's Jersey Journal has a story on the ground breaking for a new residential tower right next to the Grove street PATH (I had previously blogged about this building in March). I had heard that part of the "deal" would be to improve the "park" by the PATH entrance - I'm glad to see the paper confirm that indeed it is the case.

Second, those of you who like to take pictures of things (like myself) might be interested in reading this letter from NJ's Attorney General to the ACLU, clarifying the state's position on taking pictures of NJ Transit facilities, equipment and stations (like the HiBLeR, for instance). Despite what you may have heard, NJT has no authority to restrict pictures taken from public streets - only those taken from its property, so snap away. You can also request a permit to take shots in stations, etc - but have to agree not to use the photos commercially. The AG cites the need for restrictions based on anti-terrorism concerns - which makes sense to me - but also based on Transit's need to police and maintain control of its intellectual property (logos and trade dress, presumably). The commercial use restriction sounds a lot less like use of police power and a lot more like a taking...
