DELUCA ANNOUNCES IMPROVEMENTS TO NJ TRANSIT SUMMER DIVERSION PLAN FOLLOWING HEARING

After a week of battles with NJ Transit over its plan to divert all Midtown Direct trains to Hoboken during July and August, Mayor Vic Deluca and several other local public officials appear to have gained some concessions.

Deluca posted a lengthy update Wednesday on Facebok after he and officials from other local towns attended a state Assembly hearing on the issue.

Among the improvements at least four morning trains to Penn Station will be restored during the summer cutback, which is being done as part of the improvements to Penn Station.

WABC-TV was at the hearing and offered two clips of Deluca raising concerns with the state officials.
