Posted by Olog-hai on Sun Jul 13 14:58:25 2008, in response to Re: Just only $1.4 Billion to build Staten Island North Shore & West Shore Lines, posted by trainsarefun on Sun Jul 13 10:27:20 2008. The "replacement" Bayonne Bridge is a mistake. The only reason for that project is to bring in those super-container ships with imports (imports we are increasingly finding it difficult to afford since the jobs that used to be on our soil are gone, which is a long-term cause of our present recession). We shouldn't even have a container port in Newark Bay; it costs way too much to dredge that bay to unnatural depths.They could have done this years ago. Even have NJT running a diesel service to Cranford and/or West Trenton. But no; they want to do it the hard way (and we gotta be one of the few countries that blows up the costs of LRT on an existing right of way to figures well above the most expensive mountainous segments of high-speed rail alignment). |
