"Why is this being done without any input from the public-- and at what seems like the last moment?"It isn't being done at the last moment. What you resad was a presentation to Community Board 8 well in advance of the construction. "The plans are made and the construction is under way" Not at 72nd St. In fact, the 72nd St station contract hasn't been released for bidding yet. DMJM+Harris/ARUP has completed the design, but that's sitting on a computer. You can change that. The TVM isn't even here yet. None of this will change the current contract, which is TBM drilling plus digging shafts for each of the station sites. The best time to deal with a money problem is now, before MTA has to pay huge penalties to change orders mid-stream. Nobody can force construction companies to bid contracts at prices you mandate. Maybe you should try living in China. There the government can dictate a lot more of what happens in a project. |
