Re: 7 line extension to New Jersey.

I remember discussion in 1989 or so of extending the 7 to NJ. At the time, being young, I believed it. Now, I only believe what I actually see- I was surprised that SAS Phase 1 got done.But now, that they did in fact, extend the 7 but turn the tracks southwards, like you said, extending it to NJ wouldn't even make sense.

I can think of many projects that I'd like to see. But since resources are limited, I think the most practical effort "they" can make would be a full-length SAS, using as much existing infrastructure as possible- the portions already built above 96th St, the tunnel under the apartment building in Chinatown, and the unused capacity in the Nassau/Centre Street line. Yes, I know that would limit the t to 8-car trains. That would still be better than the existing service level- no?

A 10th Ave subway would also be nice- but it's a pipe dream for now.
