Talk:Brooklyn–Battery Tunnel

message: In the article it says "the longest continuous underwater vehicular tunnel in the world". Is this true? There are many underwater tunnels that are longer than the 2,779 meters of the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, see the Bømlafjordtunnel for example. ZorroIII 22:53, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Longest continuous underwater vehicular tunnel

message: The article is currently without sections to it.  This article would benefit greatly from being broken up into its Intro, History, Specs, and its usage in Pop Culture, and for that matter, some areas could benefit from being more detailed.  For example. it does not state what the design material was among other things.  If anyone's willing to organize and expand this article, it'll work wonders, but please, try to verify your material ahead of time.  It lacks in sources as it is.

message: Hello, shouldn't the article name now be "Hugh L. Carey" tunnel? If it is officially named that than should the title be the official name? All the maps say HLC tunnel.  AmericanAir88 (talk) 00:29, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, that's technically the official name. However, the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel name is the most commonly used name, and the official Carey name is already mentioned in the article. I think this is the reason why Triborough Bridge wasn't moved to "Robert F. Kennedy Bridge", or Queensboro Bridge to "Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge", etc.epicgenius (talk) 12:59, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

text: I guess the official name can be placed in the top of the infobox here as well, then. epicgenius (talk) 23:16, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

message: Would consider adding a section on the annual Steven Siller memorial 5k that travels through the Tunnel every year, attended by thousands.  As defined by the organization, "The event symbolizes Stephen Siller’s final footsteps from the foot of the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel (formerly known as the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel) to the Twin Towers Site, and pays homage to the 343 FDNY firefighters, 63 law enforcement officers, and thousands of civilians who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. To date, more than 500,000 people have followed in Stephen’s footsteps".  https://tunnel2towers.org/ 
The event shuts the tunnel down to vehicular traffic once a year, serves as a large fundraiser for first responder-related charities, and brings on average about 2000 West Point Cadets to run each year.  One issue I see is that the Tunnel to Towers run itself does not have a Wiki, so links would be mostly external.
Note: I am very new to this editing thing, I have reviewed all the editing guidelines but would welcome any feedback or guidance from more experienced editors.Johnnyg206 (talk) 22:20, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

message: There is nothing showing in the space for a map, besides credits to 2 map sources. I reloaded the page but that did not bring a map up.  Using a mobile phone at the moment. - - Prairieplant (talk) 04:25, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
