However, pushing for ARC is actually equivalent to pushing for building the Atlantic Avenue Branch all the way into Manhattan. And Flatbush Avenue is a good deal further away from the waterfront than Hoboken is, with a good deal better connecting raI don't think extension of LIRR's Atlantic Line to New York is on a par with THE project, mostly because the last possible stop in NJ for THE train to New York is going to be SEC. It's not as though there will be a new underground station complex somewhere under Hoboken or Jersey City, which would serve both the growing Hoboken-Jersey City area and also, for those who want to remain on the train, New York. THE project has set up an either-or situation between Hoboken and New York; if your train goes to HOB, it's not going to THE terminal or to NYP. By contrast, it should be unimaginable if the Atlantic Line were extended to a new terminal in New York, somewhere below Houston St probably, and there were no stations in Downtown Brooklyn. THAT is more like what THE tunnel aims to do. Two of the major faults with THE project are that it doesn't offer a station stop in Hoboken/Jersey City, and that it doesn't run to NYP. |
