Staten Island

There are three bridges to New Jersey. The Outerbridge Crossing to Perth Amboy and the Goethals Bridge to Elizabeth opened in 1928 and the Bayonne Bridge to Bayonne in 1931. I can't offer anything current, I haven't lived on the Island since 1978. RossPatterson 20:17, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Four bridges if you include the recently restored Staten Island Railway Bridge, also connecting Staten Island to Elizabeth, New Jersey, and it's the oldest. Digit LeBoid 21:22, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

-The introductory paragraph of the article perfectly states why I choose to nominate SI as a feature article; it is a part of New York City, yet in some ways it is quite ''apart'' from it. I found the article very interesting and informative. The only criticism I can level is as follows:
-) In my opinion, the "Geography" section should be reside closer to the end of the article, instead of the beginning. I feel this because most readers might be put off by reading boring statistics in the first five minutes. We're trying to fire their interest first, then load them with numbers.
-) A little more information about the island before the construction of the Verazzano Bridge would be nice; such as, when was the bridge that goes to New Jersey constructed? What about the huge fire at the ferry terminal, which occured during the early 1900's? Or a short statement about the plans the city has to construct a brand new space-age computerized ferry terminal, which keeps getting delayed?
-If anyone has anything else to add, or disagrees with what I have said here, let them come forward! By the way, I cannot add much to this article because I am not very good at editing stuff. --[[User:Cormac Canales|Cormac Canales]] 05:09, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
