B35 via Church Posted August 24, 2013 Share #6 Posted August 24, 2013 Wait a second, I'm confused: - From that NJ.Com link: "The project, which would build several theaters, studios, rehearsal spaces and other facilities around University Place and Alexander Road, has been a hotspot of controversy because it includes plans to move the Dinky commuter rail station 460 feet south." - From that linked NJtransit page: "Beginning Monday, August 26, a new, temporary Princeton Rail Station will open approximately 1200 feet east of the current location." How is there gonna be a temporary station built 1200 ft east? And what is the benefit of moving the permanent station 460 ft south exactly?
