Why don’t they just build another bridge?

The actual price if any government project is half the estimate but will end up costing half-again more.

NJ can do without it’s very own big dig.

NO THANK YOU

The Sierra Club likes the ARC tunnel, that should give Mr. Christie pause.

Why would NJ want to fund a project for NJ residents to commute to NYC to work??? Hopefully Christie will turn things around and business will continue to expand in Newark, Chilltown, Hoboken, &c. and payroll tax revenues can remain here and not in the filthy cesspool across the Hudson.

This project would take 9 years to complete. Given the rapid advancements in technology, I think in a decade from now you will see much larger numbers of people telecommuting. I personally believe that ridership on mass transit into NY City will actually start to go down over time, not up.

Chris Christie was right about the NJ teachers union, but got this one wrong. We need to keep our infrastructure current and this tunnel was needed. The long term economic benefits far outweigh the costs, even if it goes 5-10 billion over budget. It would greatly increase home prices of many New Jersey residents and would dramatically reduce commute times. Shorter commutes to Manhattan mean more productive hours at work. Governor Christie should reconsider.
