	Going the Distance
		In November 1998, as ground was broken on the project, Binder opened a temporary branch in Atlantic City on a small lot literally across the street from the on-site headquarters for Yonkers-Granite.
		The partnership necessitated the expansion of Binder, which is based in South Plainfield, N.J. The company's one branch location - in Voorhees, N.J., about 40 miles from Atlantic City - was deemed too far away to react with immediacy to the contractors' needs.
		After all, the package of new excavators, dozers and wheel loaders for New Jersey's Atlantic City-Brigantine Connector project had a combined price tag of several million dollars.

		Nice-to-have but not killer additions would be the demo date for the Atlantic section (1942, but a portion from Tower C out to Commercial St was kept around for layovers), and maybe some of the switch towers (for example, Boston transportation mentions towers C and D for the Atlantic Ave branch).
		Now, admittedly this could be just me, but I always thought that calling a street a "road" is about as appropriate as calling someone's backyard "Central Park." A road's primary use is transportation from A to B; a street, by contrast, has many uses, and of these vehicular transportation is merely incidental.
		A street, as Jane Jacobs would say, provides a stage for the "drama of civilization." Not so for a road.
