It’s still the closest one to the city and may eventually have a boat to connect it to the city in future plans.

By how much?
If it does have a boat, then I hope they bring the terminal up to date. Because as is, it is awful. Simply put, I'd chose a different airline/airport to avoid flying out of LGA Terminal A.

They will spruce up the terminal but it will still suck flying out of (due to capacity issues region-wide) and traveling to.

Are you kidding?? Marine terminal was the best! Short lines and no walk to the gate.

Some airline moves going to happen in the next few weeks at LGA.

The move should be happening on December 8th.

Haven't been to Marine terminal in ages. IIRC last time I was there was on a PanAm A"H mileage run which had me going to Boston and turning back right away. (30,000 miles got you a RT to TLV in economy back then, when Delta took over the party got better for a while, got a couple of Biz RT to TLV for 30,000, until it stopped).

Terminal B isn't that big.
Terminal A has no amenities.

Alaska, JetBlue and possibly frontier to move to the marine air terminal.

Delta to move all gates to terminal C and D. Spirit may move in with delta too.

American to move gates from C to consolidate at B.

The move is happening tomorrow.

With the new move, M60 SBS has added Terminal A as a stop on the route. Q70 SBS will continue to only be for B, C & D.

The other runway is a block away. Its called the GCP. Where exactly do you want to squeeze one in?

Yeah, someone was bound to say that. Bad news though. Thats Mayor deBlasios golden parachute. He gets to lobby for zoning change when he leaves office after closing Rikers.

That brought to mind YTZ, where they invested in a tunnel so people can walk from the terminal to the mainland, rather than have to wait for a ferry. A great airport to use if your destination is downtown Toronto, pair that with https://bikesharetoronto.com/system-map/ if the most you are carrying is a backpack, or a Car2Go, and it's a wonderful transportation option.
