Ugh...grammar matters. All caps = hysteria. Not that it was all wrong. Just poorly presented.

They can't decide how/when to replace the Tappan Zee bridge on the Thruway and that is a critical link in the nations road system. What makes you think a cross sound bridge will ever materialize? For what purpose would it serve other than to provide another exit off the island....

Well you kinda just hit the nail on the head unintentionally. The whole reason it should be built is to provide another exit off the island.

But the island is not critical and there are multiple bridge links at the western end. Commuter convenience to Westchester & Conneticut is not justification to invest millions in a cross sound link. Besides could you image the toll cost...

not many people living in Connecticut want it either . How would it benefit them ? Only thing I can think of is ocean beach access for them in the summer.
It's not like we have any great business centers for them to commute to .. (like Stamford).
