I meant they took out the eastbound toll plaza that's been out of commission for what, 25 years (at least)? I didn't mean you're not charged an eastbound toll - the $14 is round trip.

Switzerland recently completed a 35 mile long tunnel for 8.5 Billion $ ....under the Alps...
It would reduce travel time from Long Island to Six Flags to almost an hour, and it would expedite all traffic going south.
Nah , the costs would exceed the benefits....expanding the Rail Network in Central Jersey and Connecting it to Staten Island and Brooklyn will solve that problem. The Central Jersey network should be completed by 2030 and who knows about a SI link... Expanding and Restoring the LI Network and connecting it into NJ via Penn Station would solve the rest.
maybe sumthin simpliar, a tunne lfrom Brooklyn to NJ...its only a 4 mile distance from one side of teh harbor to the other, i dunno y its takin so long
And Europe has us beat again! So much for us being "the greatest country in the world"

Go move to Switzerland if you think it's so much better than the U.S.A.!
