Sort-of UA: Modernization Of [EWR]Terminal Nears Completion

http://www.aviationpros.com/news/106...ars-completion

The bulk of this article is about the modernization effort in EWR terminal B, but this bit will interest UA fliers:

"Modernizing our aging airport terminals is a major goal for the Port Authority and completion of the renovations at Terminal B at Newark Liberty demonstrates our return to our core mission of focusing on the region's transportation infrastructure,' said Pat Foye, the Agency's Executive Director. "By year's end, we also will seek a request for information from airport operators and builders toward creating a public-private partnership to build a new Terminal A for Newark Liberty, similar to plans already underway to explore building a new Central Terminal Building at LaGuardia Airport."
(emphasis mine)

We haven't heard anything about Terminal A in a while, but I thought they were just looking at a refurb of the piers, not a whole new terminal...

I wonder what (if any) bearing this will have on UAEX operations out of A...or if we can look forward to any kind of non-bus airside transfers in future...

(Yeah, wishful thinking, I know...)
