DELUCA AND COLLUM LETTER RIPS NJ TRANSIT DIVERSION PLAN

Mayor Vic Deluca and South Orange President Sheena Collum penned a joint letter to Gov. Chris Christie and NJ Transit today criticizing the decision to divert all New York City-bound Midtown Direct trains to Hoboken during July and August when repairs are made at Penn Station.

In the letter, dated today, the duo blasted Christie and the transit agency for announcing the change without any prior warning to local officials, saying our towns were "kept in the dark by an agency that is known for its terrible record of communication and transparency."

The complaint also stated, "this decision as made without any consultation with the elected leaders from the towns affected. We could have been given the opportunity to discuss options and a more equitable solution to the problem."
