@NJTurnpike NJTPA Lie #1 : Additional capacity will not relieve congestion over the long run; Gutierrez-Scaccetti's own admission of “future demand” shows the NJTPA is well aware that congestion and delays will worsen in time. This project will NOT improve traffic.

Widening Highways Doesn’t Fix Traffic. So Why Do We Keep Doing It? (Published 2023)

With billions of dollars available to improve transportation infrastructure, states have a chance to try new strategies for addressing congestion. But some habits are hard to break.

When candidates tell you who they idolize, believe them. Remember all the fighting over Liberty State Park? Stack kicked that off by killing the LSP Protection Act and passing a bill written by Paul Fireman’s lobbyists. Stack was also instrumental in propping up Menendez, Sr.

Brian Stack is simply the best mayor in NJ. Brian’s commitment is extraordinary, his leadership and ability to execute, and his passionate commitment to “the good” is second to none.

@JeffTittel @c2cfree @PANYNJ @PATHTrain I agree that’s a good use of money but . @PANYNJ only controls capital expenditures for the airports, seaports, bridges & tunnels, and PATH. NJTransit would have to invest in Newark Light Rail. Unfortunately, . @GovMurphy would rather take our billions in bonds for highways…

@RezaC1 @JasonBeeferman @GovKathyHochul As someone who commutes using PATH and MTA for work, we all benefit from each trip that isn’t taken in my personal car or in a Lyft. MTA has issues because it was raided of funding for decades. Costs go up each time you have a start/stop cycle that guts in-house talent.

@News12NJ 1) Why did @GovMurphy campaign against congestion pricing instead of negotiating a revenue share agreement with @GovKathyHochul to help fund NJTransit? 2) Why spend $14B to widen the Turnpike and raise tolls when, instead, we can raise tolls and fund transit?

Peak morning traffic – bottleneck every morning is cars waiting across 6 highway lanes – 139U, 139L, I-78 – to squeeze into the 2 lane Holland Tunnel. @GovMurphy 's misdirection last night the bottleneck is the bridge is simply not true @NancySolomon2 . #TurnpikeTrap

Glad to see elected officials are speaking out on this boondoggle. When first announced, Rob Menendez supported the expansion. Hopefully, we’ll soon have a representative who will get us the resources to expand transit and not turnpikes.

Wasting $10.7 billion of taxpayer dollars on foolhardy highway expansions is the definition of poor public policy. I strongly oppose the misguided Turnpike widening and would allocate this funding for our mass transit infrastructure. Read more:

@danieljhan_ @GovMurphy This is a terrible take from @GovMurphy . We should be indexing for a more democratic process and letting the voters decide who should represent them. If good candidates put themselves forward, we should get good governance as a result.
