Port Authority Police Lt. Thomas “Chip” Michaels sent a text message to Fort Lee Police Chief Keith Bendul in which he proposed sending westbound traffic from Hudson Terrace to Center Avenue. In effect, that move would have forced traffic to pass by the lane closures to reach Center Avenue, which provides another access to the bridge. He ended the message with, “Papd covers lemoine ave. Thoughts?”
Bendul responded, “Can’t center ave gridlocked. Suggestion open up 3 toll lanes,” according to the document The Record received Tuesday through an Open Public Records Act request.
The closures cost the region $100,000 in economic activity, according to a report prepared by the Port Authority and obtained by The Record on Tuesday.
Michaels also exchanged texts with David Wildstein, a former Port Authority official appointed by Governor Christie, who carried out the lane closures creating traffic jams for parts of five days.
