Yeah I’m not sure what all this harping on the environment is. Yes, that’s incredibly important but the better sell to everyone is “this is a project with no consideration for the real bottleneck”. No matter how left or right you are, one can agree that the tunnel is the issue. Not the approaching road.

Been to Modern Family Dentistry twice. First went fine, second was ROUGH despite asking her to be more gentle.

Huh!

Really good reviews, pics look promising, tiny menu so they have focus…

Thanks! I kinda sorta heard of them but the name seems so…generic and unrelated to much of anything, I guess…I never would have looked into them but they seem promising.

Damn look at you making all that sense. The point isn’t for the plan to improve anything it’s about greasing the right palms.

So you can afford the Tesla, but too cheap to pay tolls...

it’s all part of the NJTransit experience 🥰🥰

> If the powers that be really want to funnel money to the construction industry they could pay them $5B to dig a big hole and another $5B to fill it back in.

But actually it would be more useful to pay them to dig a big hole between 78/139 and the tunnel. Put the approach to the tunnel there. Then cover it back up. Would open up the land above which is in a great location if not for those lanes.

Rule of thumb: the answer to any news headline question posed is almost always "no"

Anyone with half a brain cell can see its a giant waste of money. It will get thousand of cars down to the entrance of the tunnel faster...and make a bigger longer parking lot.

If you cram 2 lanes into 8 back into 2 lanes of the tunnel--sometimes one.... making 4 lanes to get to the 8 lanes is not going to fix anything when its those 8 lanes fully backed up . . But leave to state to think spending 10 billion dollars getting people to that few block stretch of the 8 lanes would speed things up some how.

Take that money and build a new tunnel .

EDIT: Lets not even mentioned the 8 lanes were cut down to 5-6 at the entranced to make a reserve area for EMS vehicles years back .

> No, it cannot. But the Governor wants to throw red meat to the construction unions because he wants to run for President.

If the goal is just to create construction jobs and it has to be on a highway then do something with some benefits by burying the lanes between 78/139 and the Tunnel. Then upzone that whole area for dense housing.

imagine how much nj transit could accomplish with that money rather than some widening that’s not going to fix anything

We need a twin Holland tunnel

For $10B we could build a new tunnel. Such a waste of money to funnel cars into the same bottleneck. Would make more sense to build a tunnel with an entrance by Liberty Science Center, built for large transport vehicles, then convert the Holland Tunnels into bidirectional pedestrian/bike/micro mobility tunnels. It would reduce maintenance costs associated with vehicles, such as road wear and emission ventilation. Can the Holland Tunnel take increased throughput of even heavier vehicles over the next 50 years?

And huge backups are often caused by a shitshow on the NYC side with gridlock on the exit.
They could pay a few full time cops to just babysit the lights and stop people from blocking the intersections at Hudson or Varick.

I would avoid True Dental. They are a disaster in every way.

yea its for dbags to get over on tolls and speed cams. there are liners you can add to plate as well as sprays.

been out for years. they even have a special light that does somethign to cameras.

Yes, oddly I have also taken it that direction once, and I must have been absorbed in reading or something and didn't notice if we stopped inside JSQ or went past it on JFK.

To shoot light back at the camera from an oblique angle like that requires a coating with cubic reflector nanobeads like are in reflective tape and cloth, they direct light back at it's source. If it were just the letters or the background, it might be readable, but in its entirety its not.

well, if you paid correctly you just stay in your seat. I've personally never taken the 119 to port authority, but have taken it from port authority to a little past Communipaw.
