The Trail people are at it in Tenafly. Yeh, forget them.

The program managers agreed with that, and ended the project short of Tenafly.  Added Englewood Hospital, which should be a traffic generator, and a place for a substantial garage.

Challenge is still the opportunity beyond Tenafly, vs. the parking limitations in each borough going north. The 303 Drive-In site at Orangeburg, NY,with its adjacent Township owned land seemed to be a made to order terminal, with almost direct access to the Palisades Interstate Parkway. Maybe in another generation...

Trail people are lining up not just from Tenafly, but continually up into New York State.

The "trail people" are very well organized, and well recognized at the local political level

Not likely since in some cases the trucking industry is a major rails to trails donor.

Didn't know that, but it makes perfect sense.

Bergen County has a lot of well organised interest groups. Black Lives Matter, Orthodox Jewish, the oil train people, any number of autism groups, and the outdoors trail people.
