Kush vs. Lipski, part II

How did the Sixth Street Embankment property in Jersey City get pulled off the city's list of places that should become a park?

That is a question in the ongoing battle between Councilman Steve Lipski and his former campaign consultant Steve Kush, a bitter feud that has become very personal.

Kush claims Steve Hyman, the developer proposing to build homes there, influenced Lipski into abandoning the park by backing Lipski's campaign for mayor last year.

Lipski said he has steadfastly abstained for any vote concerning the embankment and has consistently admitted his close ties to Hyman.

"He is a friend of mine," Lipski said. "I've never denied that."

Lipski also admitted that Hyman helped with his campaign for mayor, but said this did not affect his position as a city councilman in regard to the embankment project.

Residents of the area just north of Hamilton Park have mounted a campaign of their own to keep the former elevated rail line's designation as a park, and to deny Hyman assess to it as a site for development.
