Count me in. These issues have been going on for too long with no communication of a resolution.

This wouldn't be a quick fix, nor would it be the cheapest option, but I do believe it would have big impact on minimizing congestion.*
Fix the Hoboken station! Currently Hoboken is setup like a dead-end street which requires the conductors to park then walk to the other end of the train to drive out of the station. If the PA could build an exit that connects to the main track they would have the ability to provide the following: -A train that goes directly from 33rd to WTC, stopping at HOB, Newport, and Exchange. -The current train from JSQ to 33rd, on the weekends it could stop at Hoboken without the typical 5-10 minute delay -The current NWK to WTC This will ease the amount of people at Newport trying to cram on to an overcrowded JSQ to 33rd train because they will theoretically have two direct options to 33rd. I live near Grove and in the mornings I feel bad for all the Newport people who are left on the platform because they can't get on. This will give people who live or work near Exchange direct access to midtown. This will increase property value, (but?) it will also attract even more businesses to the area. This will allow weekend travel to be faster which will save the PA money. This will also be costly since most, if not all of the construction will take place under water. * = I might be talking out of my a&&...
