Re “Build the Donald J. Trump Tunnel” (editorial, Sept. 15):

Naming the proposed new rail tunnel under the Hudson River after a president of the United States is a win-win situation. Those who adore him can brag that he is worthy of the huge expense. Those who despise him can relish that the so-named tunnel will make the news, negatively, only when there is a commuter delay. The project gets done.

To the Editor:

In your editorial calling for President Trump to move ahead with the proposed rail tunnel under the Hudson River, you left out the real culprit in this continuing saga.

Chris Christie, former New Jersey governor, halted work on the tunnel back in 2010. If he had not diverted some $3 billion to other projects we would be nine years into construction of a new tunnel. This was the real scandal of the Christie administration, not Bridgegate.

To the Editor:

Let’s just dump the idea of naming the proposed rail tunnel under the Hudson River after any politician. Nobody calls the Triboro Bridge the R.F.K.; nobody calls the Queensboro/59th Street Bridge the Ed Koch; and nobody calls the Tappan Zee Bridge the Mario Cuomo.
