Hopefully this will alleviate some of the crowding on the Escalators once the passageway is open. Anything they can do to reduce the insane cattle car crowds on any part of the WTC station is ok with me. Now if they can just open some sort of temporary passageway to the Southeast of the site for pedestrians until the permanent PATH station gets built would be fantastic. The hoards of people going through Vesey and Church (southbound) is just insane and I'm surprised no one has gotten hurt yet.

Most people who think they're "stopping" at a stop sign or before a right turn on red really aren't. They're usually rolling through slowly. How to tell if you've done it correctly? When there's angry honking behind you.

That's the issue that bugs me more than anything. It's not just Jersey City that does things that way, it's all across the state and is the case in municipalities of other states too! Any job I ever worked at, you earned both sick time and vacation time. There was a limit to how much vacation time you could build up but no limit on the amount of sick time. But when you left the job, typically you'd get paid for the accrued vacation time but you got NOTHING for the sick time. That's the way it should be. But it seems like in these municipal jobs, they get to have everything both ways - use the vacation days for sick time instead, build up as many sick days as possible and use as few as you can (as you can build up a limitless amount) and then get PAID for the sick time when you quit/retire. How is that a good system at all?

I agree about the need for 1 regional/coordinating mass transit authority. I too fear that this makes so much sense that it hardly stands a chance

Just because you love dogs, does not mean the rest of the world has to deal with them in a place where dogs are not expected.
