Why don't you tell me the proper depth of the Narrows Channel...and the center of the Upper NY BAY?

I know them..but I want You to tell me just so we have our facts right..


No need to debate the depth:

http://www.charts.noaa.gov/OnLineViewer/12327.shtml New York Harbor Chart

http://www.charts.noaa.gov/OnLineViewer/18650.shtml San Francisco Harbor

Note that where the San Francisco Bay shipping channel crosses the BART tube the soundings are more than 30 feet greater than those found in the Verrazano Narrows. At the current rate of ship draught growth that provides the southern San Fran Bay upland facilities with many years of handling the largest ships in the world before the immersed tube BART line becomes a limiting factor. Even then at least San Fran has decent upland area in Oakland which would be unaffected by the BART tunnel and could be dredged below 75-80 feet.

I know them..but I want You to tell me just so we have our facts right..

By the by..did you KNOW that the TA/MTA Wanted to build a DIRECT route to Staten Island from Manhattan...?

Can You tell me WHY it never made it past the drafting board?,


No you don't. You're such a raging egotist and attention whore that if you did you'd lord it over my head as some sort of pathetic attempt to show someone you percieve as Brian's supporter wrong. I'm sorry your world works in such a black and white manner, but that doesn't change the fact that a tunnel under upper NY Harbor for SI is perhaps the worst idea since a screen door on a submarine.
