Which is why you see support for Northern Branch LRT and Glassboro LRT , but not much for any line feeding NY. Although anything feeding Hoboken is alright. The PA only has one project and that's the WTC project , they keep saying they'll upgrade the Bridges , tunnels and PATH , but nothing is happening.... They won't even hand over there documents to prove there constructing something... NJT would object to anything that puts pressure on the network , so there opposed to the Secaucus option , they would be in support for Hoboken which is under capacity on both the PATH and NJT. The Gateway Project would benefit a larger section of this region and not just NJ , CT and NY could expand there networks.. The 7 Project cannot do that and encourages driving with the Secaucus option. Politicians in this region have a history of talking up a storm and doing nothing. Transit advocates , Fanners and Employees like me often know whats going to happen , and the facts here are the in its current setup it will be blocked.

I'm happy to hear that. It would be ideal to do both projects, but if only one can be done, I think the gateway project is the more prudent approach to the issue.
