I was just thinking maybe they should focus on bringing a rail line to LaGuardia. Maybe a spur of the LIRR there? Or do AirTrain like they do at JFK and Newark? Although I just Googled for some information and came upon this blog entry:

LGA to get AirTrain?
MTA: Plans May Include Train to LaGuardia
Freight rail lines could be converted into subway lines and a train could take passengers directly to LaGuardia Airport under a plan proposed by the head of the region's transit agency.
In a "State of the MTA" speech Monday, Metropolitan Transportation Authority executive director Elliot Sander proposed several long-range projects for the agency that runs New York City's subways, buses and suburban train lines.
Sander also said the MTA would explore creating a second AirTrain service to connect LaGuardia Airport to Long Island Rail Road service in Woodside, Queens. He said the MTA will add $30 million worth of promised new service [New York Times] this year, increasing service on 11 subway lines and extending several bus routes.
