And this map shows why if the SAS goes across 125, there should be a connection to the 8th Avenue line at St. Nicholas, even if it's only used at first for GO's and emergencies.

They should create such a connection, but the odds are against it. The way the MTA builds things, it would probably cost at least an extra billion dollars, maybe even a whole lot more. Look at what it cost to connect the 63 St tunnel to Queens Blvd, and that was started over twenty years ago. We'll probably be fortunate to see an extension just north to 125 St, much less anywhere across town. When it comes to subway construction, New York is much the "can't do" city and state. If the subway does make it across town, don't hold out much hope for a connection to 8 Ave. It will just be too expensive.

More like, "Just say no."

There will be no more federal money for transit in the new administration.

While I won’t say that, the statement could be based on the fact that during the newly elected President’s previous term, funding for SAS Phase II was not acted upon by the Feds and sat in limbo.

The present administration didn’t exactly act upon it quickly either but eventually they did.

Right.

But this would be well into the future anyway.

The first pork of the new administration will probably go to reward voters and their representatives in red states, which by coincidence have less mass transit. The message sent to voters in blue states-- especially cities-- will be, "Next time, vote red."

Some of his richer backers, like Elon Musk, have a vested in cars and not mass transit.

It’s hard to say, but the Donald has appointed a couple of NYers to his cabinet, so he may throw some bucks our way for certain projects like the SAS and Interboro Exp.

Isn't at least one of them from upstate? I doubt she would have much interest in NYC mass transit.

Stefanik is from way upstate but will be UN Ambassador. Irrelevant to transit.

Zeldin is from LI and will run the EPA. Irrelevant to transit.

If they find an endangered species of rat while digging a subway tunnel, the EPA could throw the brakes on the project.

It might be a recently mutated rat with superintelligence (rattus benjaminicus)! :-)
