Thats abit redundant as the next stop on NJT at Hoboken has all those connections.

It seems over the pandemic people lost there common sense.. Someone hiring up on the crime task force in Newark said that a lot of the cars ending up in Newark were stolen while people left them running while they went into a store or restaurant to buy something...then there was wave of thefts last year in a small town on LI and it turns out most of the cars were unlocked , had the key fobs or keys left in them....I really don't understand it..

They keep proposing new ferry service from the Amboys / Elizabeth as part of a new development but it never happens...

I think the PA should be the operator...and I doubt will ever see BRT converted to light Rail...it has to be Light rail from the start...otherwise they don't do it...no matter how overcrowded things get look at the MTA SBS outer boro routes...

Newer Elevated metros don't tend to cast a large shadow like the older ELs do...there also quieter..

The terminal on the NJ side is still there...I don't know why they haven't considered restoring service as part of nyc ferry , make it a line from Tottenville to the Amboys and then up to Lower Manhattan.

Staten Island and then onto Perth Amboy closing that stupid transit gap between the 2 cities...

Elevated would probably be easier and cheaper to build now that I think about it.

They had some really good catchy ads last year on streaming services....made me come down and enjoy your city...but this is a hot mess...that tells me nothing about the city nor does it make me want to come.

I can easily seeing this double again to 20 billion so i'll list the projects that should be funded for that amount

• Cross Harbor Freight tunnel : Bayonne to Bay Ridge
• North-South Gold Coast Light Metro from Fort Lee to Bayonne under JFK Boulevard
• Electrify the rest of the NJT Rail network
• High Level Platform the remaining stations
• Run a rapid / frequent Regional Rail service on the Inner Morris & Essex Lines ie Summit to Hoboken & MSU to Hoboken
• Add Infill Stations at Ampere in East Orange , Harrison , Meeker Ave , South Street in Newark , Caven Point Avenue , 18th Street in Jersey City and 15th Street in Hoboken
• Paterson - Hackensack - North Bergen LRT
• Grade Separate Paterson Plank Road crossing
• Northern Branch LRT - 8 mi - 8 Stations
• Glassboro LRT - 18 mi - 14 Stations
• Newark-Paterson LRT - 24 mi - 20 stations
• Newark-Elizabeth-Cranford LRT - 12 mi - 16 stations
• MOM Rail Network - 2 lines - 54 mi - 15 stations
• West Trenton Line - 24 mi - 6 stations

Its a shame what Hogan did to the Red Line and the MARC System upgrades that he shelved... I'm hoping that the New admin reverses that trend and gives Baltimore a proper transit expansion and breaks ground on the New Baltimore tunnels along the various long bridges that need to be replaced between Baltimore and Wilmington...

The town can set design rules for the newer developments so that it fits in with the older aesthetics of the neighborhood...very few towns and cities do this for some reason..

Montclair NIMBYs are a whole different level of nuts...the state spends hundreds of millions giving the town direct service to NYC only to have most of the town up in arms over train noise thus canning weekend service...

They need more lighting down on those streets way to dark and easy for someone to hide.

I believe Massachusetts is planning to have one train per day up to Quebec via Springfield & Vermonter route in addition to the proposed Amtrak Montrealer restoration. Ideally the state should fund and build the Electric option for the SPG-BOS East-West portion and then split Amtrak Regional with half the departures going via the Shoreline route and half going via the Inland route. The ALB-SPG segment should dump Pittsfield and offer a bus connection at Lee and continue on the I-90 ROW to the Hudson Line and connect into into the Proposed Empire Higher Speed line. I saw there was also 2 separate studies on routing a few intercity style trains along the Fitchberg line continuing onto Greenfield and North Adams and a VDOT proposal that adds another Ethan Allen Service to Boston via North Adams/Springfield.

You live in the Inner core of this region so its worse then say if a person lives on the edge of Central Jersey or PA...most buses in these areas make a few stops and then express...they also get use HOV lanes or bus lanes...so that reduces the commute stress... The one downside to this route is in the summer it gets very crowded with beach goers..

Theres on off 125th near the West Side Highway in Harlem.

Portuguese , Brazilian and Caribbean style BBQ

Should just demolish the entire city and rebuild it in Camden which has the space...turn AC into a nature preserve...

Needs more rail service , every 20mins...

I would rather see a development like this in Camden along the waterfront then in a high risk coastal flood area like AC...

The span does not have tracks but the PA did make the bridge capable of supporting it...

Only 2 towns oppose it , the rest support it...and its in the funding phase..

here it is

For 10 billion you can get all the projects listed below

• Northern Branch LRT - 8 mi - 8 Stations
• Glassboro LRT - 18 mi - 14 Stations
• Newark-Paterson LRT - 24 mi - 20 stations
• Newark-Elizabeth-Cranford LRT - 12 mi - 16 stations
• MOM Rail Network - 2 lines - 54 mi - 15 stations
• West Trenton Line - 24 mi - 6 stations
