A number of projects could significantly improve the NYC metro’s urban, economic, social, and transportation potential. Here is my list:
- Penn Station through running
- Convert the JFK Airtrain allow the LIRR to run on it.
- Build a subterranean Union City NJ transit station where the North Tunnels currently are
- PATH train to extension to Newark
- Merge North-South street blocks in Manhattan to form superblocks.
- Queenslink
- Deinterlining like all of the subway lines
- Tear down insane New Jersey interchanges
- Bikable streets for all
- Improve New Jersey biking infrastructure. Huge potential to improve connectivity between NJ and Manhattan.
- Secaucus Junction–Bergen Loop (Gateway Program)
- Electrifying rest of LIRR and NJ Transit rail lines + battery trains
