Posted by Russ on Mon Jun 23 14:57:37 2008, in response to Re: Second Ave Alignment Change, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Mon Jun 23 11:55:55 2008. Crowding and necessity have existed as reasons to build the SAS since 1955 (the year the Lex became the only East Side line). I don't care how badly it's needed, politics and finances will doom any part of the line below 63rd and it'll be a miracle to see the segment from 96th to 125th built.What has changed is that the East Side is getting so congested that the RPA - which has very close ties to the real estate industry - is predicting that real estate values will begin to fall if the SAS is not built. This has never happened before. If that does begin to happen, politicians from all over the region - as well as ranking members of relevamt congressional committees - will suddenly find this issue to be very, very important. Money from the real estate industry will work its way through the political process. The SAS will get built. |
