something like that for l.i. to conn. would be so far down the priority list it would never happen even if somebody actually wanted it to. fixing the hudson tunnels are the top tunnel priority. the nj to brooklyn freight tunnel would be next in line. tunneling to staten is pretty much a fantasy plan, be it via manhattan or brooklyn, but it has been discussed a bit. so.
