New Jets stadium in NYC? There goes the corridor!

[Peter Gottlieb]

Just saw that this is being pushed through. It would be just south of the
Javits Center, right on the river.

If this is built, any event there would close the Hudson River VFR corridor.

Any event at Yankees stadium closes the corridor now.

Yes, I know, but with two stadiums the chances are much higher something
will be happening at one of them.

How the hell do they expect people to get to the stadium? Javits is
nowhere near the subway.

Part of the whole project is extending the 7 train westwards from its
current terminus at Times Square.

What are they talking about trains for? Didn't they just blow up
several trains in Spain. Will they stop the trains when a game is on
like they will stop flying?

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Neither is the Meadowlands or Shea, but people find a way. It's not a
horriblly long walk from the 8th Ave 42nd or 50th street A/C/E stops,
though.

The Willets Point-Shea Stadium stop on the 7 train is in the right-field
parking lot of Shea Stadium (and right across the street from the Tennis
Stadia, too). In fact, it's possible to watch a game from the subway
station itself.

So, tell me. Is there anything that the public can do about it, or is it a done deal?

I don't know. Projects of this magnitude have lots of twists and turns.
There is sure to be a lot more debate on this as time goes on.
