The JFK Airtrain doesn't do a very good job for the cargo area. LGA is a smaller airport, and does have less workers, but the number is not insignificant. In the case of LGA, the only thing that will allow a major increase in flight ops would be adding another non intersecting runway, and the list of reasons why that won't happen is a mile long. Sadly, we seem to botch projects in a lot of ways, lack of vision, lack of political will to overcome nimby-ism, pandering to special interests, political correctness, and the list goes on. Someone give a good reason why we didn't put in at least a shell for a future 42nd and 10th station on the 7 extension. That would facilitate development of that area and increase the tax base as you mentioned. Ridiculous. |
