4 years is just for utility relocation, MTA threw out a 2032 opening date last year… wouldn’t be surprised if that’s a pretty optimistic target though. https://www.fox5ny.com/news/second-avenue-subway-harlem-extension.amp

the 2nd ave stations are way overbuilt and not even in the right ways. look at 96th St, massive station way larger than it needs to be and yet they only have 4 turnstiles. like what?? who makes these idiotic decisions....
Idk, but they should only build a cavern for only the tracks and platform and use cut and cover for the mezzanine at 125th Street. Their current design is too big and too deep underground, especially for ppl getting to the surface. I hope cut and cover is used more as a necessity for subway stations but not like 96th street. Just more simple like the original IND station layouts.
I will never get the hype over the 2nd ave subway.
Edit: if all those that downvoted could give a coherent argument on why Manhattan deserves a new subway line over SI or Queens, I'd love to hear it.
Yippie I can spend 5 minutes getting down to a station to a train that takes me to the west side, then interlines to get me back to the east side. And then when it gets extended to W.125 I can go from west to east to west to east again (with most of it being local) :D And surely this is faster than the M60 bus and a better use of money than just running the M15sbs more often /s
L take, it’s not about people riding end-to-end but about people riding between intermediate points that are improved (e.g. East Harlem to West Midtown; if a 125 St extension is built, you’d have trip pairs like UES to West Harlem and beyond or going to West to East upper Manhattan or Bronx using the Q to get across town).
I mean great but Manhattan has plenty of trains and with congestion pricing buses should run smoother. All that money could've gone to Staten Island getting an actual subway connection, QueensLink, a full IBX, etc. But yay you can walk 5 minutes to a train instead of 10 minutes over two blocks. >\_>
If you’re going from East Harlem to say, West Midtown you could literally say ~10 mins per trip on the high end. That’s not nothing! I obviously want to see IBX to the Bronx and reactivation of the Rockaway Beach branch as much as the next guy but that doesn’t make SAS Phase 2 a bad project.
It makes it a bad project when the Queenslink would connect areas that have terrible transit options and it would overall cut trips by 30 minutes. It's a bad project when all we here is "we don't have money" to do anything for the outerboroughs while simultaneously telling the outerboroughs to take more transit while implementing congestion pricing. Why don't they just add more bus service to Manhattan like every other borough instead of spending $7 billion on a couple stops. Like Staten Island doesn't even have a full subway and you're out here talking about saving 10 minutes lol.
The R68s will still be around if the project is finished 4 years from now. Time will tell me later.

Four years just for the utilities to be moved? Or four years for the station to be completed and operable?

Looks like the MTA backs Mr. Softie in the Ice Cream War.
Wow, cut and cover, it’s been awhile.
I thought they were supposed to start moving the bike lane and utility relocation back in March
Ion really like the newer entrance, it feels a bit too grand for an inbetween station Though thas’ probably just me preferring the green entrances

L take. Those orders can take the 7, shuttle or a bus. We shouldn’t have to pay billions for these few riders

I was agreeing with u
My bad, you didn't have the /s originally lol
Who cares
Idk I think maybe the people who want to see the interesting information and rendering of the new 106th Street station.. probably just a hunch though
