NYC Subway Service Could Deteriorate Due to MTA
Budget Shortfalls, Hochul’s End to Congestion Pricing
NY Daily News: “NYC Subway Service Could Deteriorate Due to MTA Budget Shortfalls, Hochul’s End to Congestion Pricing” mentions Director of Transportation and Land Use, Eric Goldwyn:
If, as Lieber has indicated, all $13 billion in the MTA’s capital pot go toward repair and replacement work, then other projects—like a planned $7.7 billion "phase two" extension of the long delayed Second Avenue subway into East Harlem—will have to be delayed into the next capital plan. "That could turn the Second Avenue subway back into a ‘zombie project,’" said Eric Goldwyn..."If push comes to shove, you’ve got to maintain your system rather than expand it. Historically, that’s what’s happened. The buses have to run on time. The stations can’t be crumbling."
