Posted by Olog-hai on Fri May 1 16:20:56 2009, in response to Re: Tuscarora Almanac - April 29 - The Aldene Plan, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Thu Apr 30 15:40:16 2009. It's the PANYNJ that wanted the Newark Bay bridge gone more than anyone else. NJDOT could have helped the CNJ by not going with Aldene and instead building a PATH connector to CRRNJ terminal; but more than that, the PRR's interference (since the 50s) was the driving force behind Aldene.(Remember when someone posted that PDF, outlining one of the PRR's plans for the CNJ to actually run into Exchange Place via the Aldene/Hunter connection? Most likely the Port Authority got in the way of that when they took over the H&M, and didn't want the CNJ to run on PATH's rails. But then again, what if the PRR didn't close Exchange Place and we had Metroliners running out of there to Washington DC, eh . . . ?) |
