New York and Jersey Tunnel Franchised for New York Terminal
The Board of Aldermen approved a franchise for the New York and Jersey Railroad Company to build a tunnel under the North River at Morton Street linking New Jersey terminals to a New York terminal at Christopher and Greenwich streets. The project aims to transfer passengers from ferries to electric cars and connect with trolley lines, with an expected finish in about eighteen months. McAdoo stated the tunnel would operate as an independent light electric line with six minute NYC-Jersey City trips, fare not yet set, and potential through-service to Erie and Lackawanna routes.
