The proposed visitor center will allow visitors to connect with the river flowing out of the city. The tidal marsh also acts as a natural bioremediation and filtration system for the runoff from nearby streets and parking lots.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.instablogsimages.com\/images\/2010\/02\/27\/si-newark-street_3_JVDtB_69.jpg\" alt=\"si newark street_3\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Made from reclaimed materials like brick and wood, the visitor center would also make use of geothermal source radiant heat as well as solar thermal collectors.
