The fate of the Kingsland Train Station in Lyndhurst was up for discussion Wednesday night after New Jersey Transit announced plans for its closure next year.

It was the second of two public meetings for commuters to speak their minds about plans to shut down the station. Most of the commuters who spoke weren't on board with shutting down the station

NJ Transit announced its plans to shut down the station last month. Commuters filed into Town Hall in Lyndhurst to voice their concerns and hear more about the plan.

According to NJ Transit, the Kingsland station has many issues. It’s not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, it doesn’t have enough parking, getting to the platform from the street requires stairs and there’s no elevator.

The 105-year-old building hasn’t been open to the public in 15 years, but some commuters like Andrew Miller from North Arlington, are fighting for the old station.

"There’s a lot of new buildings popping up all over the place in Lyndhurst and North Arlington and other surrounding towns and a common target market for those developments are people who commute in and out of NYC and people who ride mass transit, so taking away a train station or anything other transit option is going in the wrong direction,” Miller says.

A shiny new station is already being built just a short distance away. It boasts full ADA accessibility, high-level platforms, new elevators and stairs. It’s expected to be up and running by May of 2025 and that’s when the old station will officially close

NJ Transit officials say that the reason that the old Kingsland Station is not simply being renovated is because building a new ADA-accessible Kingsland Station would require relocating the entire station too close to the new Lyndhurst Station

As of right now, nothing is set in stone. The New Jersey Transit Board of Directors is expected to take a final vote on the closing of the Kingsland Station by their November meeting.
