NJ Transit wants more than $1 million, an amount the proposed builder no longer can absorb because the pandemic has driven up construction costs, contends the MPA. But a “money grab” by NJ Transit has jeopardized the redevelopment project, according to the Morristown Parking Authority (MPA), which sued the transit agency on Tuesday. Nearby in Bloomfield, the town's mayor appealed to NJ Transit to pick up the slack that will be left when DeCamp stops commuter service.An apartment complex pitched for the Morristown train station parking lot looked like a sure thing in 2018. Therefore I am asking, on behalf of all of you, that our higher level officials step up and procure the resources necessary to help keep DeCamp afloat for more time.” I believe these broader ways of living and working in the NYC region need time to settle before entire options are taken away from us. We don't know what is going to happen with congestion pricing in NYC and many employers in NYC continue to adapt in-office requirements for workers. While many of us have settled into different routines, I do not believe the philosophical debate on ways of working and ways of commuting for those of us in major metropolitan regions is settled. Senators Booker and Menendez Congress Members Sherrill and Payne Governor Murphy State Senator Nia Gill, State Assembly Members Timberlake and Giblin and prospective future reps of Montclair (currently serving): State Senator Richard Codey and Assembly Member John McKeon. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, U.S. Therefore I'm in the process of reaching out to our state and federal officials to ask for a whole of government approach. Yacobellis continued: “While this issue has an acute and harmful impact on Montclair, it is also bigger than Montclair. “Although we are blessed with multiple train stations in Montclair, trains are often overcrowded, many residents do not live in walking distance to a train station, and demand for parking exceeds supply at our train stations.” “This is an alarming development for the many residents of Montclair who rely on this transit option to get to New York City for work,” Yacobellis continued. “Although ridership has not returned to pre-pandemic levels, I know that many of you still rely on these lines in some way, to simply get to work,” he wrote, adding that he and his partner chose their home in Montclair based on their transit options. Meanwhile, Councilman Peter Yacobellis said he was “shocked” to hear about DeCamp’s plans to end commuter service to New York City.
