2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 32 - Interstate and Port Authorities and Commissions|Section 32:1-26 - Principles to govern the development

32:1-26. Principles to govern the development  Principles to Govern the Development: First--That terminal operations within the port district, so far as economically practicable, should be unified; Second--That there should be consolidation of shipments at proper classification points, so as to eliminate duplication of effort, inefficient loading of equipment, and realize reduction in expenses; Third--That there should be the most direct routing of all commodities, so as to avoid centers of congestion, conflicting currents and long truck hauls; Fourth--That terminal stations established under the comprehensive plan should be union stations, so far as practicable; Fifth--That the process of co-ordinating facilities should, so far as practicable, adapt existing facilities as integral parts of the new system, so as to avoid needless destruction of existing capital investment and reduce so far as may be possible the requirements for new capital; and endeavor should be made to obtain the consent of local municipalities within the port district for the coordination of their present and contemplated port and terminal facilities with the whole plan; Sixth--That freight from all railroads must be brought to all parts of the port wherever practicable without cars breaking bulk, and this necessitates tunnel connection between New Jersey and Long Island, and tunnel or bridge connections between other parts of the port; Seventh--That there should be urged upon the federal authorities improvement of channels, so as to give access for that type of water-borne commerce adapted to the various forms of development which the respective shore fronts and adjacent lands of the port would best lend themselves to; Eighth--That highways for motor truck traffic should be laid out so as to permit the most efficient interrelation between terminals, piers and industrial establishments not equipped with railroad sidings, and for the distribution of building materials and many other commodities which much [must] be handled by trucks; these highways to connect with existing or projected bridges, tunnels and ferries; Ninth--That definite methods for prompt relief should be devised which can be applied for the better co-ordination and operation of existing facilities while larger and more comprehensive plans for future development are being carried out.
