    Bloomberg said Wednesday that the subway line extension to Manhattan’s far west side is on budget, and he believes the city could work with the state governments of New York and New Jersey and with the federal government to secure funding for the project.

    The mayor’s office says the city is spending $250,000 for an as-yet unfinished feasibility study about a possible expansion of the subway tunnel under the Hudson River and to Secaucus, N.J.

    New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie liked the idea, telling WCBS (880 AM) radio on Wednesday that his state will “pony up its fair share.”

    Before he goes ahead with that, maybe he can fix our streets and get rid of Ms Sadk Kahn’s dangerous pedestrian islands and bike lanes.

    If the obese governor of NJ cancelled the new commuter rail line into Penn Station at a cost to his state of over a billion dollars, why would he support building a new subway line into upper Manhattan.

    Interesting concept…I wonder if the idea of transfers to NJ bus or rail lines could be added to the mix…

    actually, its not a bad idea, in secaucus, u can change to trains all over NJ and north to Suffern and Spring Valley. I will not even address the low life who resorts to name calling.
