In today's Staten Island Advance there was a update to the plans for a rial line on the North and West shores of Staten Island. The two rail lines are now estimated at about 1.4 billion( 1 billion for the West line and .4 billion for the North line).
The North shore line could have about 15 thousand riders a day. The north shore line will use the old North Shore rail.
The West shore line could have about 31 thousand riders a day. The proposed West shore line will run along the West Shore Expressway median.
