I think this can work. But they need to adjust the fare structure of the PATH system. The guy taking the train one stop (4 minutes) b/t Exchange and WTC shouldn't be paying the same as the guy going from Newark to 33rd.
That is probably the least popular opinion ever, but that doesn't make it irrational. Quote:

I think by 'connect,' people meant that there would be an underground connection between the two systems, that you could walk across. Not that the rail systems would be integrated with each other.
something akin to how there is a connection between the F train and the PATH at 23rd street Quote:

Re: LIGHT RAIL EXTREMELY LOUD BELL SHOULD BE STOPPED

You should care because having brain matter and body parts scraped out of the pavement in front of where you live is likely much less appetizing than dealing with an alarm bell that is meant to avoid such an occurrence.
Sounding the caution bell consistently takes the decision out of the hands of a train operator, thus providing some liability protection. someone else mentioned raising the rails off the roadway. Raising the railbed through the middle of a historic neighborhood is madness.. It would enable shelter for some (and not in a great way) reduce exposure to the sun, and.. suck for everyone who lives around it. also it would be comically expensive. Quote:

Part of this may be inefficiencies in operations, but I think the largest issue that contributes to cost is that it is an extremely small system. And yet, despite this it still requires quite a lot of capital investment and equipment to support it.
The IT required to run a fare system for a system of 1/4 million riders is only slightly less expensive to run than the IT required for a system of 10million riders, for example. So yeah, a solution would be integrating with a subway system already in place. In fact, it may even contribute to improving service for MTA riders, in some ways. Quote:

Isn't the alternate that if all of this additional capacity didn't come online, then prices would be even higher? Why shouldn't the theory be that prices are increasing at a lower rate because of the new construction?

Why would it push prices and rents higher? Wouldn't it be lower? Increasing supply would put downward pressure on price.

I did this deal the last time they had it. Brunch was fantastic. I'm not going to sign up for another Living Social deal (it just kills the economics from the restaurant's perspective, and for some reason there's a guilt that I associate with using it at places that I know I like. hah.) But this place is definitely in the rotation.

I think aside from the low incremental spend associated with these flights, I think there is considerable value that comes from a recruiting and troop morale perspective.

Typically, military flyovers fall under training hours for these pilots/crews/squadrons. If they weren't doing these hours in a public forum like Superbowl pre-game, they'd be doing it in a less public forum over some random unpopulated area. So, depending on your frame of mind about it, you get more bang for your buck, not less... at least for the flyover aspect.
Also, in terms of taxes, the NFL doesn't pay, but the individual teams do. Also, out of state players pay a specific 8% tax on their proportioned earnings for the week. So, something like .16% of their annual salaries. Which isn't nothing, especially when talking about the dollars involved. Quote:

I think its pretty much the same as how asphalt breaks.. the ground expands and contracts with changes in temperature. Eventually the pipe is exhausted of the capability to handle the stress.
Generally, water mains tend to be quite old, as they are a foundational component of a water system, and not wholly replaced with any ease whatsoever. Quote:

Probably because the only time you notice there's a car parked there is when there's a car that you can't see past being park there. Humans don't do a great job of noticing things that are not exceptions to what they're expecting.

They actually already have this sign at the WTC, though I don't recall seeing them having used it since the storm. Also, with all the construction on the mezzanine level, it isn't in a very visually advantageous location.

They should be able to provide much more advanced notice of planned weekend track maintenance (the 20 minute schedule messages). Given this work is planned out, they should be able to give us much more advanced notice. And make this notice much more apparent via signage, displays, tweets, or a mobile friendly web page that gets updated.
This seems like a quick and easy win. Quote:

Congrats on your efforts to have these guys operate within their agreed upon hours. That's excellent!
But your last sentence seems a little disconcerting. Are you really looking to have the helipad decomm'd? That appears to be quite the overcorrection. I think reducing hours, reducing frequency are all fair game. But eliminating service is far from a sure net benefit. Things like this need to exist somewhere. The infrastructure is in place here. Businesses that may patronize the service are close by. It brings affluent out of towners who use it for heli tours into the community. I guess my takeaway is that this doesn't need to be so binary. Something in the grey seems more logical and a decent win all around. Quote:

This is probably impossible to answer, but does anyone know what the marginal cost of running one more train is on any of the routes? Curious how much they are saving with the decreased service on Sunday mornings.
I actually have no clue if it's in the hundreds or thousands. I'm guessing it costs a good bit in electricity to haul a whole train set from Newark to World Trade.
