Let's be clear. The Turnpike Authority's plan is not a safety project. It *doubles* the number of lanes to 8 with two bridges for $6.7B. Repair was the NJTA's own proposal, just $260M for 40-years of life. Mayor @StevenFulop is right – repair not expand. newjerseyglobe.com/governor/fulop…

BREAKING NEWS! The Target Zero Commission Bill (A1476) passed the Assembly floor 75/0/5 (not voting). Thank you to @RKarabinchak and all our state legislators who fought, co-sponsored and voted for this critically important bill.

.@NJTurnpike — And this is why your widening project is so deeply opposed by Jersey City and Hoboken. You're only going to dump more cars onto residential streets because there is a fundamental bottleneck at the tunnel. @GovMurphy - expand transit not the Turnpike.

Shameful that despite the constant outcry for better @NJTRANSIT and @PATHTrain service, @GovMurphy continues to prioritize a highway widening project opposed by @StevenFulop, @RaviBhalla, @barakaras, and the majority of Essex and Hudson County residents.

@AylaSchermer @GovMurphy Car crash deaths per capita decreasing in OECD countries, increasing in US, and especially @GovMurphy's NJ crashes.hudcostreets.org He is spending $20BN widening highways, has built 0 transit in 7 years. Historic policy disaster, with 1000's of violent deaths to show for it

It's a supremely walkable city but not all trips are. 30-40 minutes to walk north-to-south, esp unrealistic if you have to roundtrip. Lots of parents doing kids dropoff in cars creating double parking messes. Bikes/ebikes could make those trips a lot faster and unjam streets. /
