Blackmanor1000 Posted September 1, 2008 Share #2 Posted September 1, 2008 Ew, that looks pretty ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted September 2, 2008 Share #3 Posted September 2, 2008 The renderings look bad, but it would look good in real life. As long as they make provisions for light rail to travel over/under it i'll be happy. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I know the exact light rail line that would go over it, problem is the navigation to the bridge..... Can anyone say the Newark-Elizabeth light rail line that supposedly NJT has now given up on..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred G Posted September 3, 2008 Share #6 Posted September 3, 2008 Anything would be an improvement over that narrow bridge. I think any new bridge designs should include provisions for rail, be it light or heavy rail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortline Bus Posted December 5, 2008 Share #9 Posted December 5, 2008 As I used to live in SW Brooklyn i used to drive on the Goethals and nearby Outerbridge alot. The lanes very dangerously narrow that easy for accidents especially in bad weather. It badly needed and if a light rail/walkway for walkers and bikers alike is bulit great. Hope the Staten Island NIMBY dont stop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kexpress Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share #10 Posted December 6, 2008 Anything would be an improvement over that narrow bridge. I think any new bridge designs should include provisions for rail, be it light or heavy rail. You know it should be light and heavy rail on the new Goethals Bridge and then we would have trains going to Staten Island and use the North Shore Line and West Shore line and also and connect with SIRT and HBLR. There is also the Arthur Kill Lift Bridge connected but it only for frieght Trains and I saw the Video of the Arthur Kill Lift Bridge Old Goethals Bridge and check out these videos I saw.
