I actually feel they should move the Airport to Staten Island. I refuse to land at LGA because if you seen what the pilot has to do it is very risky. They have a very short room and time to land the plane. Not to mention the noise in the area. Staten Island would be much easier and safer for airplanes.

Pills seem to stick the landing hundreds of thousands of times a year at least without incident.
Since Rikers will soon be available, maybe the PA can take over and expand LGA on it.
I said that as a joke back in 2012 when they officially started the procurement process for the new Terminal B project, and it turns out someone actually had already come up with a detailed plan to do just that. I bet they will, eventually.
Something needs to give at laguardia. Keeps cabbies in business,keeps jobs, but traffic stinks.
Any rail service should run along the GCP,and merge with the Astoria train before the bridge. Broadway local,no?
Or along the BQE for 74th street tramsfer.
That LIRR link is a must for people coming from the east, so willets point is more logical. Also gives the city another reason to sell off parkland from the junkyard.
I'm against this, becuase it's another obtuse separate system like the JFK monorail. Bring the NW train directly to Laguardia and bring the A or JZ train directly to JFK.
Since JFK already has an airtrain, they are not going to extend a subway line there. As for LGA, I don't know how feasible it is to extend a subway line out to the airport itself.
The LGA airtrain from Willets Point or extending the Astoria Line to LGA would be a waste of money. I doubt very many tourists, especially those traveling with families, are going to drag their luggage onto a NYC subway train/Airtain. Business travelers will continue to use Uber/Lyft and Taxis.
