A lot of very statute stuff.I should note that the reason the public voted for the bond issues supporting the current SAS project is in part because of the success the TA has demonstrated since 1982 in bringing the subways back to a State of Good Repair. The TA's successful completion of the 63rd St Connector project on-time and within budget also played a role. It took seven years because it was built largely on weekends and at night so that existing subway service could be maintained, but the TA kep[t to its announced schedule and was ready to open service as promised. The 63rd St extension itself was completed on budget, but New York's financial collapse and the circumstances i which MTA was operating overshadowed that. |
