Port Authority Executive Director Stanley Brezenoff announced his resignation, effective February 3. With two new Governors, each with a new approach, they certainly ought to have the opportunity to establish their priorities, the four-year director of the bi-state agency told the NY Times
NY politicians have said they believe NY Governor-elect George Pataki would like to appoint Joseph Mondello, Nassau County Republican chairman, to the top Port Authority post. Negotiations over Brezenoff's successor will likely begin soon between Pataki and NJ Governor Christine
Whitman. Surface transportation issues the Port Authority will face in the coming year are NYC airport rail access, the proposal to twin the Staten Island/NJ Goethals bridge, bridge and tunnel toll increases, the possibility of a PATH train fare increase and a variety of regional freight movement
projects.
