The Gateway thingy was a plan by Amtrak that would have gone ahead even if ARC had.Except that the Gateway project was in Amtrak's 2020-2035 capital project proposal up until Chrisco killed ARC. That ignorant decision made Gateway a much more urgent project as we have done nothing to alleviate the demands on NYP. And if ARC had been completed the two of them would have provided NJ with a more than adequate capability to move commuters into Midtown. With Gateway as the sole remaining option we'll be lucky to have a barely adequate trans-Hudson commute in 2030 when the project is completed. We will require a means to increase the number of trains utilizing the tunnel without the extreme cost associated with building terminals within Manhattan. Thankfully there is at least one alternative. |
