Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, who is currently dominating the polls, will unveil his “transportation agenda” this Friday at the Regional Plan Association Regional Assembly. Spitzer is the keynote speaker.
The focus of the assembly is big -- like Katrina big --disaster planning.
But hopefully Spitzer will give some hints about how he’d manage the MTA if elected governor. It will particularly be interesting to see what big projects Spitzer backs or doesn’t bother to mention -- especially, the proposed Lower Manhattan to Kennedy Airport Rail Link -- a project least liked by area transportation experts.
Tom Suozzi, the Democratic insurgent hopeful, will be a panelist at the event.
