Since there's no possible expansion of the Holland Tunnel or Lincoln Tunnel, expanding the turnpike just creates bigger traffic jams in Jersey City. Manhattan can only contain so many vehicles anyway. Better mass transit is the way to go. The new rail tunnel is finally being built . Christie canceled ARC 12 years ago in one of the most shortsighted decisions ever. That tunnel would be done now. The new one won't be done until the mid 2030s. The current tunnels are over 100 years old and were damaged by Hurricane Sandy, if one or both fail no new highway will be able to take the traffic into New York. I personally believe the best short term solution is more ferries from varied locations in New Jersey. Not a perfect idea but a good way to take stress off roads and train lines.

Back then the crowds where huge but you could move from section to another. Now the crowds are less but you cant move…and no rest rooms.

Having a maker space is fantastic! And the new branch would be a nice addition to our area.

Do you have any volunteer opportunities to teach software development courses?

I thought the harsh crowd control measures like pens you can't leave, and having to arrive like 8-12+ hours beforehand, were security after. Maybe that tamped down the crowds, but the experience sounds miserable.
My dad did the ball drop in the early 80s when it was kinda sketch to say the least, but that sounded better than what it is now to me.

I suspect it won't be long before they start embedding an rfid chip in license plates.

No bueno. If dont have a ball view, you’re forced to stay with the regular crowd. Ball View is very expensive.

I was working on Times Sq on NYE prior to 9/11, it was worse. Now the crowds are less.

We could also then take down the elevated highway and reclaim the land.

The post 9/11 changes make it sorta miserable sounding. I've gone to one of the bars in the area, no view of the action but they keep a lane you can go out into the street with, that's the way to do it I tell you what.

Donated, and thank you for all you do. You were an essential resource for me before I could buy a computer and had to job hunt in a digital world. I am forever grateful.

Not a dumb question - you can access all the streaming stuff on the first half of the post remotely.

this is a dumb question, but are all of those digital services accessible remotely or do you need to be physically present at a library to use them?

Is there any way to request a book be added to the ebook library?
