Perhaps if this is a real hit, there will be no choice but to look at expanding rail there in the future.

We are developing more Rail , all of our plans have stalled and not due to the Governor which supports the other projects but due to NJT's incompetence.... I don't support adding Rail to this complex at least not intill the backlog of projects like the Hudson Bergen LRT Expansions or the Newark LRT expansions are completed or the Southern Jersey network which has been promised for over 15 years and nothing has moved yet. So if this project were to receive upgrades it would outrage the entire state while benefiting less then those said projects. As from LRT there are a slew of Regional Rail and Bus Rapid projects that NJT would like to do , but for some reason even with Governor support hasn't. The Developer should have to pay for the LRT extension not us tax payers ,it really only benefits him and not the state from a transportation view like any of the backlogged projects.
