Reply to comment by Ok_Raisin_8796 in Can a $10 Billion Highway Fix One of New Jersey’s Worst Traffic Jams? by HobokenJ

10 Billion would be enough to fund the following NJT Projects

  • Northern Branch LRT
  • Newark-Paterson LRT
  • Passaic-Bergen-Hudson LRT
  • West Orange Extension LRT
  • Newark-Elizabeth-Cranford LRT
  • West Trenton Line
  • MOM Rail Network (Central Jersey)
  • PA Rail Access Expansion to Scranton & Lehigh Valley (Split with PA/Fed funding)
  • Glassboro LRT
  • Bus Rapid Transit ways along South Orange Ave, Central Ave in Newark, JFK Boulevard in Hudson County, Route 4 in Passaic-Bergen

If he were real serious about being green and expanding the infrastructure in the state he would have aggressive funded that list which with matching federal funding should have largely been built by now with the exception of a few long shelved projects. All the shelved road and highway projects under Christie have been funded and most of them will be done by next year. Around 7 billion in total...so why hasn't NJT received the same treatment.
