Barring a new tunnel to Brooklyn or Manhattan, Staten Island will always be New York City's bastard child. There's no getting around the geography. Here's an idea: clear the whole damn island and revert the land to farms.Only kidding. Actually, Staten Island needs to strengthen its transit links to New Jersey. (I'm thinking ahead like, 50 years) Run a North Shore line into Newark Airport, re-start the Tottenville/Perth Amboy ferries (or some point down the line build a new Outerbridge Crossing with rail and extend the SIR mainline), build an HBLRT extension over the (new) Bayonne Bridge down Richmond Avenue to Eltingville. AFA better connections to N.Y.C., finally build that extension to the Fourth Avenue tracks. But location-wise it seems more efficient to look to New Jersey connections. |
