Supporting a Study of Extending the 7 Train to New Jersey
January 30, 2014
Earlier this month, I wrote to Governor Cuomo to support Manhattan Community Board 4’s request for the allocation of $2 million for an advanced feasibility study of the extension of the Metropolitan Transit Authority’s No. 7 Train. The extension of the line to Frank R. Lautenberg Station in Secaucus would give hundreds of thousands of commuters an alternative to driving or taking a bus through the Lincoln Tunnel, reducing congestion and queuing on both sides of the river – as well as improving air quality and quality of life in the surrounding neighborhoods. Please see my letter below.
