"Not while the MTA spends what little capital money that's available on costly and unnecessary projects. Among these are CBTC, the Fulton Hub, South Ferry and the SAS."Please note that the funds that supported the construction of the Fulton Transit Center, the new South Ferry #1 Terminal, and new the World Trade Center complex all came to New York City because some freaking terrorists decided to plow two airplanes into two skyscrapers killing thousands of folks. A couple of victims lived in my building. The downtown area was a complete mess for years afterward. Those federal re-construction funds could only be used on projects within downtown Manhattan - a fact that was well known. Yes, I know that some transit fans and others complained, moaned and groaned that those funds could not be used on other projects located elsewhere in the city - but it is provider of the funds that gets to set the rules. Yeah, plenty of folks have complained over the years about the decisions made or not made since those events. Reflection upon the many lives that were lost, the many folks that were damaged, and the destruction to our city is needed and useful. Just my thoughts. Mike |
