The cost to build a Manhattan - Staten Island tunnel will probably be extremely expensive, and the existing tax base on Staten Island does not make that a great business decision.As I see it, lets get a tunnel from Brooklyn's 4th Ave line to St. George, and then make the SIR part of the subway system. If that proves successful, Staten Island will see less traffic on their roads, and development will be more tolerable. If St. George develops into a CBD, and the borough is looking at a million residents, then an additional tunnel that goes from Manhattan to Staten Island (perhaps with a stop at Governors Island) will be something that has a better chance of happening. |
