Marion is a mostly residential neighborhood in Jersey City, New Jersey. Marion is bordered on the east by Journal Square, on the north by Croxton, on the west by the Hackensack River and on the south by Sip Avenue. Marion is a low-rise neighborhood that is home to several new housing developments, restaurants, LaPointe Park and the Marion Branch Public Library. Broadway, U.S. Route 1/9, Sip Avenue and West Side Avenue are the main streets running through the neighborhood. Jersey City's mayor, Jerramiah Healy has requested that Marion be given a stop on the PATH train at Broadway and West Side Avenue[1]. There are a growing number of condos and other housing units being built in the Marion neighborhood and city officials feel a stop on the PATH system will be necessary to unclog the city streets and lessen the commute for residents. Officials feel a station would help to bolster development in the neighborhood, which has fewer cultural attractions than many Jersey City neighborhoods and is without a school. Public School #23 operates on Romaine Ave.
