The Gateway Project was initiated to add more railway tunnels under the Hudson River between New York City and New Jersey. It is currently underway, having undergone numerous starts and stops, and sits at the center of the busy Northeast Corridor, which stretches from Washington to Boston.
During my 25 years of commuting from New York to New Jersey, I had to endure many delays when one of the tunnels had to be closed for one reason or another. These tunnels were also damaged by Superstorm Sandy and must be closed to be completely repaired. This cannot be done if the Gateway Project is stopped. I fear there will be a disaster on the rails if a tunnel fails because the repairs could not be made.
This article in the New York Times details the politics behind the withholding of federal funds for this project.
Why does Donald Trump hate New York?
Why does Donald Trump hate Democrats?
What does Donald Trump have against diversity, equity, and inclusion programs?
I think this convicted felon should sit on a New Jersey Transit train stuck in a Hudson River tunnel for hours.
