Port Authority looks for public input for freight movement across harbor

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey will hold a public hearing in Jersey City on Feb. 10 to gather ideas about cross harbor movement of freight.
This is one of a number of hearings throughout the areas designed to gather important input into a variety of alternatives identified to solve a critical regional issue – the need for more efficient, cost-effective movement of goods across the Hudson River and New York Harbor.
The Jersey City hearing will be held at the Mary McLeod Bethune Life Center, 140 MLK Drive from 4 to 8 p.m.
Some proposals include railcar float operations, container barges, a truck float, a truck ferry, even a rail tunnel.
