The MTA doesn’t, as I mentioned, have an approved capital plan yet, and the agency doesn’t have the money to spend on these awards yet. It’s perhaps the most vital part of the Second Ave. along with a curve west to a connection with the Lexington Ave. The plan calls for new stations at East 106th and 116th Sts. I’m glad to see the MTA’s commitment to this important section of the plan survive. “With the opening of first phase of the Second Avenue Subway planned for the end of this year, we are taking steps to ensure a seamless transition to the next phase of work ahead.” Prendergast, echoing comments he made earlier in the week in Albany. “Our goal is to fast-track Phase 2 to every extent possible, and if these efforts to speed up the project timetable are successful, the MTA will amend our Capital Program and seek additional funds to begin heavy construction sooner,” MTA Chairman and CEO Thomas F. In announcing this new work, the MTA reiterated its commitment to Phase 2 and projected awarding these contracts over the summer. It’s all fairly modest as work goes but a very necessary first step in moving forward. Much of the work will involve refreshing the environmental impact statement and planning and finalizing design options for subsequent bids. On Friday, the agency released two procurement documents that will usher in design and engineering work for Phase 2 as well as operations for a community center for Harlem segment of this new subway line. Andrew Cuomo (more on that issue later this week), but the MTA is forging ahead with Phase 2 acceleration efforts. Meanwhile, the MTA’s five-year capital plan still remains unfunded thanks in large part to smoke-and-mirrors accounting on the part of Gov. The MTA later promised to accelerate Phase 2 if possible. Then, late last year, thanks to delays in approval, the MTA chopped $1 billion from the SAS proposal, and New Yorkers were upset. Subway with the promise that actual construction would begin toward the end of the five years. When the MTA unveiled the 2015-2019 capital plan, the proposal included $1.5 billion for Phase 2 of the Second Ave. The latest development came on Friday, but first let’s recap. Yet, here we are, near the end of Phase 1, and the most exciting news is word that the MTA is going to follow through with its promises to “fast track” Phase 2. There is no reason, for instance, other than money, why Phases 2 and 3 can’t begin concurrently. The original proposal for the line contemplated a far more compressed construction schedule with work on multiple phases at the same time. Subway set to wrap later this year, in an ideal world, Phase 2 would be well under way now. Subway, the norther extension shown here in blue.
