Campos Affirms Support for SW6 Plan and Repeats Call for Its Incorporation into Southwest Redevelopment Plan
By Scott ShieldsHOBOKEN, NEW JERSEY -- After last evening’s forum, Christopher Campos today repeated his call to the Hoboken City Council to submit the recently released Hoboken Southwest Parks Coalition plan, SW6: A Greener, Greater Hoboken, to city planners to take under advisement and for incorporation into the next version of the Southwest Redevelopment plan to be submitted to the Council.
In a September 20 letter to the Hoboken Southwest Parks Coalition, Campos strongly endorsed the SW6 plan and its achievement in addressing two of the ward’s most pressing concerns: acquisition of open space and flood abatement. In the letter, Campos committed to support the plan if elected in the upcoming special election. He wrote: “I am writing to express my strong endorsement of your vision, and should I be fortunate enough to win election as Hoboken’s Fourth Ward Councilman on November 6, I pledge to lend my full support and cooperation to your organization to realize this plan as a member of the Hoboken City Council.”
On October 15, Campos met with members of the Hoboken Southwest Parks Coalition to discuss the plan in further detail. Following the meeting, Campos reiterated his call to the Hoboken City Council to direct city planners to incorporate the SW6 plan into the next version of the Southwest Redevelopment Plan that is submitted to the Council.
Campos said: “SW6 combines the best of visionary thinking with a practical plan of implementation. It is an ambitious plan to acquire a meaningful portion of street-level open space for the Fourth Ward, and it should be incorporated into a revised version of the Southwest Redevelopment Plan to be submitted to the Council. The revised Southwest Redevelopment Plan should also include lower building heights, which will lessen density and could help alleviate the Fourth Ward’s flooding problems.
“I repeat my pledge that if elected Fourth Ward Councilman on November 6, I will work extremely hard to make the proposals outlines in SW6 a reality.”
The special election for Hoboken’s Fourth Ward City Council seat is scheduled for Tuesday, November 6, 2007.
