  • John J. Marchi Papers
    John J. Marchi Papers PM-1 Volume: 65 linear feet • Biographical Note • Chronology • Scope and Content • Series Descriptions • Box & Folder List Biographical Note John J. Marchi, the son of Louis and Alina Marchi, was born on May 20, 1921, in Staten Island, New York. He graduated from Manhattan College with first honors in 1942, later receiving a Juris Doctor from St. John’s University School of Law and Doctor of Judicial Science from Brooklyn Law School in 1953. He engaged in the general practice of law with offices on Staten Island and has lectured extensively to Italian jurists at the request of the State Department. Marchi served in the Coast Guard and Navy during World War II and was on combat duty in the Atlantic and Pacific theatres of war. Marchi also served as a Commander in the Active Reserve after the war, retiring from the service in 1982. John J. Marchi was first elected to the New York State Senate in the 1956 General Election. As a Senator, he quickly rose to influential Senate positions through the chairmanship of many standing and joint committees, including Chairman of the Senate Standing Committee on the City of New York. In 1966, he was elected as a Delegate to the Constitutional Convention and chaired the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Constitutional Issues. That same year, Senator Marchi was named Chairman of the New York State Joint Legislative Committee on Interstate Cooperation, the oldest joint legislative committee in the Legislature. Other senior state government leadership positions followed, and this focus on state government relations and the City of New York permeated Senator Marchi’s career for the next few decades.

Information from filings received after November 22, 2002, and from filings that were incomplete has been excluded from the tables.

  • Public Transit in NY, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority: Its Future and History Carrigy
    Hofstra University, Department of Global Studies & Geography, Honors Essay Public Transit in New York The Past and Future of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Michael Carrigy Fall 2010 Supervised by Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue Table of Contents Introduction: Public Transportation in the United States 3 New York’s MTA and Its Subsidiaries 7 MTA’s Departmental Structure 11 The MTA’s Report Card 19 Planning for the Future 26 Appendix 30 Bibliography 51 2 Introduction: Public Transportation in the United States The Rise of the Suburb and the Decline of the Inner City From the 1950s to the 1970s, race riots, deindustrialization, the rise of consumerism, and the rise of the automobile contributed to the decline of America’s cities and the rise of the suburbs. For instance, downtown Hempstead lost its major department store and saw a decline in population and a rise in crime. Nearby in Levittown, houses were mass produced for market consumption at a time when demand for detached suburban style houses skyrocketed. The pressure for housing not only came from a housing shortage for returning veterans but from FHA policies which subsidized mortgages for new houses. The policy made it significantly cheaper in some cases to buy a new home than to either rent an apartment or refurbish an existing home. To serve these low density areas, malls, just like the Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City, were erected in suburban places across the country. Roosevelt Field gladly made up for Hempstead’s diminishing retailing in its downtown. Due to an increase in the number of malls, many cities saw areas just outside of their downtown decline into severe and in some cases complete abandonment.

  • Transportation Trips, Excursions, Special Journeys, Outings, Tours, and Milestones In, To, from Or Through New Jersey
    TRANSPORTATION TRIPS, EXCURSIONS, SPECIAL JOURNEYS, OUTINGS, TOURS, AND MILESTONES IN, TO, FROM OR THROUGH NEW JERSEY Bill McKelvey, Editor, Updated to Mon., Mar. 8, 2021 INTRODUCTION This is a reference work which we hope will be useful to historians and researchers. For those researchers wanting to do a deeper dive into the history of a particular event or series of events, copious resources are given for most of the fantrips, excursions, special moves, etc. in this compilation. You may find it much easier to search for the RR, event, city, etc. you are interested in than to read the entire document. We also think it will provide interesting, educational, and sometimes entertaining reading. Perhaps it will give ideas to future fantrip or excursion leaders for trips which may still be possible. In any such work like this there is always the question of what to include or exclude or where to draw the line. Our first thought was to limit this work to railfan excursions, but that soon got broadened to include rail specials for the general public and officials, special moves, trolley trips, bus outings, waterway and canal journeys, etc. The focus has been on such trips which operated within NJ; from NJ; into NJ from other states; or, passed through NJ. We have excluded regularly scheduled tourist type rides, automobile journeys, air trips, amusement park rides, etc. NOTE: Since many of the following items were taken from promotional literature we can not guarantee that each and every trip was actually operated. Early on the railways explored and promoted special journeys for the public as a way to improve their bottom line.
