Jersey City Unveils a Refreshed Exchange Place Plaza
 
In the heart of Jersey City, the Exchange Place Plaza has been reimagined by Melillo + Bauer + Carman Landscape Architecture. This rejuvenation centers on pedestrian engagement and urban charm at the waterfront, part of the popular NJ-NYC commuter line.
 
The plaza now boasts carless stretches along the Hudson, inviting seating arrangements, and a new playground just north of J. Owen Grundy Park. Notably, mmcité Landscape benches are strategically angled to highlight the historic 34-foot-tall statue Katyń Memorial, adding a contemplative dimension.
 
This curved bench, surrounded by planting beds, offers passers-by a space for undisturbed observation of the statue, which is dedicated to the victims of March 5, 1940 Katyn massacre. The project extends to creating pedestrian-only zones on nearby streets and laying new pavers at the PATH entrance, marrying practicality with contemporary urban design.
