That's the sense we got from the gathering as well; Alewife compiles a good overall take of the meeting, including the part about funding. (Our thanks to him.)

NJ-ARP, per standard, put in its two cents during the hearing, but as support grows for the project we're adjusting our own role accordingly.

SemperFidelis has the right take.

That said, we'll keep trying to get north of Englewood -- once we get to Englewood. It's been a long slog -- a marathon, as we often say -- for us at NJ-ARP.

... to wit: There are no children, or at best, few children, in Hoboken.

In deference to JCGUY, I cannot comment on a comparable situation in Portland.

Notwithstanding the reality that past often can be prologue, this Hoboken resident, rail advocate, and HBLRT user believes it is a real stretch to equate the current Hoboken municipal administration with its past counterparts. And while NJT certainly can point to the past as reason for caution and d...

"Other projects" in ever-increasing numbers. Which in itself is a good thing. But from a Jersey perspective, also an embarrassing thing.

One wonders if we rail travelers get out much in the world beyond the rails if bicycles on trains are such a scary, overwhelming prospect. Society changes, and folks usually have the capacity to change with it (albeit at varying individual speeds). Jtgshu, who actually works for/on the railroad, see...

... but progress nonetheless, as noted above. Kudos to Jtgshu for avoiding the 'I hate bikes" hysteria by inserting some real-world, more-than-once experience with them. Like other groups of people (clubs, advocates, what have you), there are fools and idiots and there are responsible, thoughtf...

... for formalizing here in railroad.net what many of us worked so hard to achieve in real life: the Northern Branch served by (HB)LRT.

Far be it for NJ-ARP, the state's light rail champion, to argue that HBLRT should be the only light rail project to advance in New Jersey. If someone can help us overcome the "no excuses" mandate to find funds for any other rail and/or LRT project, please step up! We can always use the ass...

Spot answers to some questions: At least some of the service from Bergen County (pick your O/D point) and Hudson County is envisioned to be "express" in some nature, at least during the rush, courtesy of Three Roads in the back of Hoboken. One can always argue over implementation, but the ...

... with thanks to RWERN. Our possible misinterpretation is what prompted us to ask, and the response is appreciated. We hasten to note at this juncture that NJ-ARP is not "espousing" 16th Street as the only, or even our preferred, site for a new HBLRT stop. At this juncture, the city of H...

Certainly no one shares the frustration over Northern Branch delays more than NJ-ARP might. But all of us might see some movement as January arrives and, from NJ-ARP's point of view if no one else's, we're hopeful that the movement will be positive. Just as a reminder (admittedly self-serving): We'v...

We're not sure what the relevance of the sewage treatment plant and/or the electrical substation holds to the proposed 16th Street Station. Is it a matter of space available? That's not an issue for any station at this point. Is it a matter of desirability of/for such a station amidst what certainly...

Hoboken city officials, indeed, are considering an HBLRT stop at 16th Street, as Nexis4Jersey properly advises. Hoboken of course would have to "check in" with New Jersey Transit, but it is not a pipe dream, and even the addition of "Three Roads" along the Palisades, which stops ...

Thanks to chuchubob, and thanks for the query, alewifebp. Yes, NJ-ARP still is on the move (albeit often below the radar these days). And yes, Doug Bowen is still about and participating, though now in a different role. Look for us vis a vis Gateway Tunnel (you mean the project succeeding ARC? The o...
