1. Does that mean that the Path Station will be located where the current South Street Yard is (East of the current EWR Station)?

2. Also, any updates on the Gateway Project?

1. No. The only station will be adjacent to the NJT Airport Station. There won't be any intermediate stops.

2. Nope.....

Does the Path Extension funding include the Hunter Interlocking Flyover and fifth track?

What would the Port Authority have to gain by financing that?

No, none at all.

1. How do we know that this Project will not become a boondoggle?

Because no Port Authority project goes over time or over budget. Just look at how fast One World Trade Center is being built.

We don't know, thats what makes it so much fun!

I read that Christie was going to have a press conference on this Project--and then cancelled his press conference. Any updates on when Governor Krispy Kreme will publicly discuss the Path Extension to Newark Airport?

I really don't give a rat's ass what the Big Fella thinks about this, or any other, project.

Maybe when ground is broken for the project?

But when is that going to be?

I thought maybe that Governor Krispy Kreme would host a press conference about the Path Extension before the upcoming election...

It was taken off the agenda of yesterday's Board meeting, so who knows? I do know that there is some money allocated for it though...

Preliminary action bucks or actual construction bucks though, is the question...

1. How much money?

2. When does the Port Authority plan to discuss this Project?

2. When they feel the time is right.
