Just saw this article re: NJ Transit's directors voting for light rail extension to the west.

Questions:
1. Does this just put it on a "wish list" for funding applications? Is there any commitment to build at this time?
2. If this extension does go, where does it get priority vis a vis the Northern Branch option? Wasn't that a "Locally Preferred Alternative" as well?
As a resident of Jersey City the extension westward might be of greater immediate benefit to me. But I've always thought that the Northern Branch was a more necessary project from a "big picture" perspective.
