Less than a week after the season's first winter storm caused hellish delays for New Jersey commuters, riders were stuck waiting yet again on Thanksgiving Eve -- one of the busiest travel days of the year. This time, because of plastic wrap. "There was a plastic wrap in the catenary power wires and we were holding trains until it was removed," Amtrak spokesman Jason Abrams told NJ.com in an email. "Trains are now on the move, but residual delays are expected." Needless to say, commuters were not happy. "For the tens of thousands of #NewJersey residents who are delayed for the umpteenth t…

Say Goodbye To Exact Change Lanes On The Garden State Parkway
The New Jersey Turnpike Authority is doing away with exact change lanes at several toll plazas on the Garden State Parkway. With work set to begin Sept. 24, the lanes will be replaced with full-service or E-ZPass lanes along the mainline barrier plazas -- locally effecting Bergen and Essex counties, along with several other between Cape May and the New York State boarder.
