NJ Transit Wednesday took steps toward studying an extension
of the South Jersey Light-Rail from Trenton's train station to the State
House. It also agreed to spend $800,000 on designs to rebuild the train
station. The city has deemed the light rail extension a means to ease traffic
congestion and boost the economic vitality of the city by bringing thousands
of riders through the downtown each day on the light-rail's trolley-like
cars. Trenton Times
