Sports authority still gridlocked over impact of American Dream on traffic
The state authority reviewing the American Dream Meadowlands project does not yet have a timetable for its decision in the fight over the proposal’s traffic impact, its head said today.
The New Jersey Sports & Exposition Authority met publicly today for the first time since a contentious three-hour hearing last week, during which board members heard vastly different estimates of how much traffic the project would add on game days for the New York Jets and Giants. Experts for the teams, which oppose an expansion of the project, said nearly 8,000 new cars would be on the road in the peak hour after a game, while developer Triple Five said that total is closer to 60.
