It will never happen... but that just my baseless opinion. :-)

It'll require tons of safety, security, and traffic management systems to work efficiently. It will be well worth the $25 price of admission, especially considering it'll likely cut travel time by hours.

The project will be a tough sell to the residents of both Rye and Oyster Bay. Both of which are affluent areas.

There' a reason the Channel Tunnel features a train that transports cars.

The Port Authority has discussed, for years, the need for an expansion of the Lincoln and/or Holland tunnels to handle increased rail lines into the city from Jersey but they have reisisted proposals to increase vehicle traffic; instead, they are now discussing a variation on the London scheme to charge cars for entering certain areas of Manhattan; a new form of user tax based on how much congestion you create and how much pollution is attributable to your car.

Bottom line: this scheme is fraught with all sorts of public policy issues and is not simply a matter of whether or not it could be built. Given the bureacracies in the metro NY area and the dueling agendas of politicians this ain't likely to happen.
