Looks like the best we can hope for is a 63rd Street - 125th Street SAS

She's not nixing the downtown extension, she's putting it on the back-burner.

IMO, this is less useful than extending downtown because it will not serve any new stations whatsoever.

This is one thing that is needed, likely ahead of building downtown:

And as said before, this needs to be done IMO where it includes a connection to the 8th Avenue line mainly for work moves but also when in an emergency or because of a GO the (A) and (D) can use such to run via the SAS to 63rd/Lex and through that being able to get back to their normal lines via 6th Avenue. Such a connection also would potentially allow a Broadway Line train to go to either 207 or the Concourse via the SAS.

However, it does great things for connectivity between upper west side and Riverdale and the east side.

I can't imagine the disruption when the SAS construction hit east midtown.

The worst disruption will probably be at 59th and 35th, for the bridge and tunnel, respectively. Do you know what Second Avenue in midtown is like? It's not at all like 3rd through 8th Avenues.

Absolutely not. The SAS should be extended into the Bronx to replace the 3rd Ave el.
