Interesting piece from NYP laying out that thanks to insanely high costs of SAS New York won't be getting anything else new train wise in foreseeable future.
Keep in mind that rat hole known as East Side Access is another boondoggle that is hundreds of millions over budget and still not finished.
Unless or until New York can find ways to do rail projects at far less cost have a hunch NYP article is correct.
The idea that NYC would never build a subway station again, as outlined by the article, is frankly stupid. The idea there is based on a continuation of the amount of funding available which is extremely low for a dense city in a developed country, a markup in costs which is extremely high for a city in a developed country, and prices for material and labor which are subject to wide changes both via legislative requirements and current material and process costs. None of these need to hold as is, and they certainly don’t need to hold in tandem. We have good evidence of this from subway expansions done in virtually every single other country in the world.
They should have gone all the way to 125 st on the second avenue line while they were working on it. It was another 27 blocks or so. Would have been finished by now

I thought that was supposed be phase 2 of the SAS line but I think it was only partially funded and therefore hasn't been continued.
This city really needs to stop putting things in phases. They don't really work out too well for the people. Just do what you ****ing say.
Exactly. They were only planning the second avenue line for over what 50 years? And when they finally started on the ues second Avenue construction how long did that take? 15 years? So as i said before they should have kept going up.
I don't know. That's like asking why Second hand Rose used to poichase second hand poils and second hand clothes on Second Avenue.
I mean, even Joe the plumber, the man she adored, had the noive to tell her he'd been married before.
