^ The first priority has to be to get the National public and policymakers to focus on the direct, specific, named loss of connectivity, and the immediate jamming of the PABT and LGA.
I want lawmakers from every state to see that
1) If they have an pet Amtrak LD to NYP, it is specficially at risk of being cut out of NYP.
2) If their local airport has a flight to LGA, it is at serious risk of being displaced, delayed, or price-gouged as the value & demand for LGA skyrockets
3) That buses will displace just about everything else they treasure that passes through the Lincon, Holland, or over the GWB
4) That not EWR or JFK, not PATH or MNRR, and not ferries from NJ are really going to be adequate substitutes, and that a crippled NYC directly cripples every congressional district within the LGA perimeter (about 3/4 of the US population) and saps the whole economy.
