The current infrastructure for transit between Manhattan and NJ is quite lacking, an additional tunnel for trains and bridge for bikes/cars seems like a great idea. (This also allows the current aging infrastructure to be closed for repairs.)
As far as I know, there's no reasonable way to bike between middle/lower Manhattan and New Jersey. A new tunnel / bridge should definitely add some bike lanes!
- exhilaration 9y agoDepends where in New Jersey you are! I've biked from Bayonne across the Bayonne Bridge to the St. George ferry terminal in Staten Island - that's about a 6 mile ride - then I've taken the free ferry to lower Manhattan.

It's a long distance. The GW Bridge was seen as a "world wonder" level engineering achievement when it was constructed. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_Program_(Northeast_Corridor) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_Program_(Northeast_Cor...
