16. You may be conflating a couple of different items

Wed Feb 12, 2014, 05:56 PM

Feb 2014

The Christie-related and train-related items are:
1) the tunnel cancellation, which would have created additional capacity almost alongside the existing NJT/Amtrak rail lines between Newark Penn Station and NY Penn Station

2) The upgrade of the Harrison PATH station.

3) a proposed additional station on the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail in northern Hoboken.

none of those projects interfere(d) with each other.
