Emergency MTA Board meeting Tuesday re L train

Posted by italianstallion on Mon Jan 14 12:27:53 2019

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) today announced it will hold an emergency MTA Board meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 15, at 12:00 p.m. to be briefed on matters related to the L Subway Train reconstruction project. At the meeting, which will be open to the public, the Board will be briefed by WSP on the alternative L Subway Train design modifications to the original tunnel restoration plan, also designed by WSP. WSP has studied the proposed design alternatives and the preliminary new construction schedule developed by the construction manager. WSP will be recommending to the Board that it pursue the modified plan as a better alternative, as it does not require a total shutdown of L Subway train service. The Board will also be discussing the concept of hiring a new consultant reporting directly to the Chairman and the Board to oversee operation, oversight and precautions for the L Subway train and the tunnel reconstruction.

I am going to speak, publicly condemning the plan, with prepared remarks. I hope others speak up.

Witch Plan?

LION supports the old MTA plan.... What is a few PhD's compared to a whole railroad full of specialists.

If the Gov can whistle up these guys on a few day's notice and have them come up with his solution is more political crap.

Maybe not. The MTA’s planners have never been known for the quality of their intelligence.

Given the fiascos that ESA and SASA have become, time for a fresh start and give someone else the job.

What's wrong with the new plan? Post your prepared remarks here.

They did a reasonably good job with the Montague. Heck they could even replicate the clearance issue since the L is required to be 100% NTT anyway.

I'd prefer it if they didn't replicate the clearance issue. You never know what some future equipment will be like.

So did you attend? How many spoke? How many supported the new plan vs. the old plan?

I was the second speaker, behind Gale Brewer. The speakers were fewer than I expected. They were in support of the old plan generally.

However, Prince Andrew probably has the final word.
