Essex Street (Hackensack) is the southern stop in this city and just across from the southern end of median running for Pascack Valley Line trains with each direction of Railroad Avenue on each side of the tracks for a mile and 8 grade crossings. The station lacks a depot and has a single 4 car low-level side platform on the west side of the track that begins at the grade crossing of Essex Street and runs south. The station is now ADA compliant and there is a wooden ramp (with black metal railings) up to a wooden mini-high platform with a wooden bench to sit on for waiting passengers needing accessible service. The rest of the platform has received a tactile warning strip. This platform has a few benches along it and brown lampposts. A each end of it are two modern silver walled with pointed roofed shelters (these replaced a white domed roof bus shelter from when I visited the station in 2006). One shelter is at the southern end of the platform just before the ADA ramp and has just a bench inside. The other is at the northern end just south of the grade crossing and contains a bench and TVM, just outside of it is a bike rack and an old yellow pay box ($3.00 per day) for the 194 space parking lot the entire platform is along. In the middle of this parking lot is a tall Essex Street sign that announces the station to the surrounding community. There is a supplemental permit only 50 space parking lot (that was virtually empty when I visited on a Friday afternoon) along the east side of the tracks.
