o As an archaeology tech for many years in NYC I've kept abreast of the news
about this resource. It is an important part of NYC and should be reopened as a
safe tour and additional research allowed, i.e., remote sensing testing perhaps
tested by those developing the tools to find IEDs, UXO, and other ordnance, like
GPR and magnetometer as I have for EPA.

o Bring back the tunnel tours! They connect us with a valuable piece of Brooklyn's
and NYC's history and encourage a further quest for knowledge of history that
would benefit other city sights and constitute an experience from the point of
view of tourism that cannot be replaced or replicated. Everyone should get a
chance to take part

restoration of the Atlantic tunnel tours and its related ventures. This is an integral
part of history for NYC and our state and deserves to be protected and cherished
by the residents of New york City, and the rest of New york State as well. -

o Restore the right to conduct the tours of the Atlantic Avenue Tunnel. All people
on the tours are informed of the rules, the restrictions, and the 'dangers'. It is not a
death trap. It was found by Mr. Diamond who against all odds wouldn't accept
"NO" as an answer. We who sign this petition are not accepting your "NO".

o The closing of the tunnel is absurd!! The tunnel, along with the original City Hall
Station are a part of history. The City of New York and the Federal government
has a duty to the people. Everything necessary to preserve these structures should
be done. Such works deserve appreciation just as a Rembrandt or a Picaso. Why
hide them from them public??

o Another example of the nanny state dictating what risks we can and cannot take.
People in the 19th century assumed much more risk and liability for their actions.
I would think we in the 21st century could likewise make those same decisions
ourselves.

o I have been on this tour and I found it exciting and educational. It is a piece of
New York history that should be cherished and shared with all New Yorkers. Bob
Diamond was an inspiration for his hard work in never giving up discovering the
tunnel, even after so many people told him no. Hearing his first hand account of
the entire process was almost as good as the tour itself. Whoever shut this down
should be ashamed to call themselves a New Yorker.

o I think it should be re-opened and the DOT should put their hands in someone
elses pocket. The Goverment always has to mess up a good thing and get into it
someway, they just can not leave a good thing alone.Well enough of that whats
undersood does not need to be discussed.

beloved Borough President Mr.Marty Moskowitz can convince his friend, and
financier Mr. Rattner to make a tax deductible investment in the restoration and
preservation of an important facet of our nation's heritage.

o I am a resident of Brooklyn and would love to bring more tourism to this borough.
There is so much to appreciate here but for me the most interesting was the
tunnel. Its educational, historic, eye-opening, and extremely interesting. The
standards are unfairly enforced in this instance. This is the time when the city's
pledged support of restoration must stand by their word and try to help. If safety is
an issue and stand by and try to get it fixed. If this is truly deemed an unfair claim
then redeem it. Too easy.

o As a historical railway entheusianst I was planning to come to NYC to tour the
tunnel in June 2012 but on further investigation, realize that the DOT has spoiled
the trip. Shame that the loss goes to the tour operator, hotels ( 2-3 nights),
restaurants, and other vendors in NYC. SHAME on the DOT for their illegal
activities ! I sincerely hope that they are exposed in court ! Keep fighting the good
fight Mr. Diamond !

more interesting and I think nobody would be more fit than Mr Diamond to show
the old tunnel mysteries to the world.

meetup group that goes on lots of tours (this being one of the more informative)
and once with my visiting father. It is a true treasure to view this kind of history
up close. Preventing citizens from experience their history in this manner is
shameful.

o i'll say this, the tunnel can be reopened. there's more that one entrance that go into
the tunnel. the fact that DOT wont let those other entrances be opened is
rediculous. and what is there for a fire hazard? there isn't anything down there that
will catch fire

o As an outsider, working 3,500 miles from NYC, I cannot criticize, but am sad that
Bob Diamonds life-work highlighting a piece of American history has been
snatched away. We had planned to visit the Tunnel in November 2010 and had
emailed Bob last August for reservations but our vacation had to be postponed.
We are now scheduled to visit our daughter this May. With fingers crossed and
flashlights packed, I pray that sanity will prevail.

o Any New Yorker -- and beyond -- would think that with the serious problems that
confront the NYC Dep't of Transportation (D.O.T.), including, but not limited to,
their snow-removal tractors smashing into parked cars and dumping tons of snow
flowing into local cemetaries knocking over sacred tombstones, that D.O.T.
would have better agenda items to act upon than unnecessarily and underhandedly
closing harmless access to a historic site in Brooklyn!
