I-TRENTON-Indibano yeNdibano uRuben Ramos, (D-33), waseHoboken, uyayithanda imbono kaloliwe uNombolo 7 waseNew York onabela eNew Jersey aze afike eSecaucus Junction. Unombuzo omnye: ingaba inokuma eHoboken?
Ndichulumancile yile ngcamango, njengabahlali abaninzi baseHudson County, uRamos wabhala kwileta eyayisiya kuMlawuli oPhetheyo weNJ Transit uJames Weinstein. Njengokuba nisazi, iindawo ezininzi zaseHudson ziyaqhubeka zinabakhweli abahamba besiya nokubuya eNew York City yonke imihla… Ngenxa yoko, ndibhala ndivakalisa umdla wam kwithemba lesikhululo saseHoboken apho iNombolo 7 iza kuma .
Uloliwe wasePort PATH uloliwe sele enendawo yokumisa eHoboken, kodwa iNombolo 7 iya kunika abahlali besixeko esikwizikwere enye indlela yokufikelela.
Ukuqhuba kwisikhululo saseHoboken PATH kuphezulu kakhulu kwaye yinto yam yokuba ukumisa uloliwe onguNombolo 7 eHoboken kungayimpumelelo kubo bobabini abakhweli nakwizinto zokuhamba zikawonke-wonke, ubhale watsho uRamos. Ndijonge phambili ekuqhubekeni nengxoxo kunye nawe malunga nalo mba ubalulekileyo.
Uphuhliso lokwandiswa koololiwe uNo. 7 kuye kwathethwa ngalo ukusukela nge-Gov. uChris Christie wabeka i-kibosh kwi-Tunnel ye-Core (ARC) ye-trans-Hudson kaloliwe ngenxa yokuba iindleko zazinyuka emathangeni eNew Jersey.
Umbono ufumana inkxaso ye-bipartisan, nayo. I-Sen Senate uJoe Pennacchio, (R-26), waseMontvale, utshilo uLwesithathu, Ngelixa itonela ye-ARC ibizakuthumela abakhweli kwisikhululo esitsha esinzulu phantsi kwesiseko sikaMacy esingadibananga nenye into, abaqeqeshi abakhweli abadibanisa kumnxeba we-7. I-Secaucus Junction iya kubotshwa kwangoko kuyo yonke inkqubo yendlela yaseNew York City. Oku kwenza ubuchule kubakhweli baseNew Jersey ngendlela engazange yenzeke kwitonela ye-ARC.
Inkqubo ye- Iposi iNew York uxele ukwandiswa kweNew Jersey kunokwakhiwa kungaphantsi kwe- $ 10 yezigidigidi, iindleko zahlulwe ngokulinganayo phakathi kweNew York City, iPort Authority yaseNew York naseNew Jersey, kunye ne-State of New Jersey.
U-Pennacchio uthe ulwahlulo lulunge ngakumbi kunesivumelwano se-ARC, esasiqhuba kangange-5 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi ngaphezulu kweendleko eziza kuhlawulwa yiNew Jersey.
Ngelo xesha, i-naysayers yalahla iRhuluneli, utshilo uPennacchio. Ukuba ulwandiso lwenombolo yesi-7 ukuya kwiSecaucus Junction luza neziqhamo, abakhweli baya kuba nezitulo zikaloliwe ezingaphezulu ukuze baye emsebenzini wokonga iibhiliyoni zeedola kubahlawuli berhafu baseNew Jersey.
