Discussion will focus on the following issue:
- detailing an advocacy plan to gain additional support for opposing NJ Transit's "go it alone" plan to construct an
isolated 'deep cavern" terminal station some 175 feet under 34th Street ...
- The deep cavern plan represents a colossal failure of interstate
cooperation. With the region's economy approaching near collapse it
makes little sense to spend an extra $3billion to make it harder to
travel by public transit within the region.
