Record levels of tourism and pedestrians... lol and surely that nothing to do with all of the projects removing car lanes and adding bus and bike lanes. Articles like this are posted likely as an attempt to dupe car drivers into thinking the politicians and planners are aware of this yet don't realize that this is a goal of these people. Classic.

Lady Liberty's odds are looking good as New Yorkers vote on the state's new license plate design

I don't get these silly design competitions to come up with a new license plate, which is almost ALWAYS overwrought and tacky since it's trying to be everything to everyone. Why not just copy and paste this:

I like the new Liberty plate a lot.
|
Yeah that is nice. I usually like the plain jane plates like Cali and Texas but some designs like Utah's I like a lot. My home state's(Oklahoma) license plate is just awful.

So I assume a segment ran on a TV program somewhere but this is a weird tweet...

I wish NJ changed its plates. We seriously have some of the ugliest plates in the U.S..
Its like someone pissed on them. I don't have a front plate on my benz. F that. Ruins the look. Fortunately I have FOP plates, and the cops only target poor looking cars (yes they do profile in NJ, even though they say they don't). I have several cops in the family, and they profile I tell yah! Welcome to NJ!!! But anyways, NJ plates are gross. https://www.ammoland.com/wp-content/...rsey-Sucks.jpg https://rate-driver.com/images/plates/NJ/V40GBU.png http://nickkanaya.net/NJ/SA-NJ-1993ND.jpg Quote:

More nonsense from our troll-in-chief, I guess. Unless the Trump Organization or Kushner Cos. have holdings in Harlem? |

SAS is very important for NYC development. That Harlem area is ripe for total redevelopment of its blighted streets. It makes sense to fund this now, Gateway will get done when the time is right. I don't believe those tunnels are just going to collapse anytime soon.

NO WAY JOSE! Gateway is more important in the long run. SAS will help build a few luxury towers in Harlem and cause gentrification. The city doesn't need to become all rich and white everywhere. The economy can't suffer a loss of those tunnels though. Trump just wants his real estate interests secured, his interests are short term. He's a greedy guy who is looking out for his own interests, NYC comes second. |
what real estate interests? you think trump owns anything outright? he just aligns with shady types for backing and they put his name on things.
when the gateway tunnels fail people will actually die and the transit bottleneck will wreck the economy. that repair work is the top priority around here. |

Just like that they trimmed 1.4 billion dollars? Is this value engineering and could result in lower quality project or simply something that should have been done at the start? That is a lot of money.

Or are the new numbers low balling the costs to make funding more attractive, then the old fashioned cost overruns occur making the old numbers low balling the actual costs after everyone takes their bite out of the pork? With New York's history, are any projected costs real? |
