(Demolished But Not Forgotten)
The Port Authority did not elaborate on what flood mitigation work is being done. The Path Station floods whenever there is a significant rain fall. It was a known issue but neither the Harrison Redevelopment Agency nor the Port Authority addressed the known flooding in its redevelopment plans
