Recently Read #4
Recently, I have read an editorial in the New York Times about the Frank R. Lautenberg train station off the New Jersey turnpike. 450 million dollars were spent building this station, but there isn't a parking lot anywhere near it. Anyone that wants to drive to it, can't, so the station is very underused. They also spent millions on a long exit ramp off the turnpike to get to the station, but if you can't park at the station, then why would you use the exit ramp. I think that this is kind of pointless and a waste of money, and the people who designed it should have spent more time planning it out. This article is good to be out on the internet though, because now architects and other designers might think these things out before they build them.
