Statement of Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) in Reaction to the MTA’s Announcement to Build a Second Avenue Subway, August 17, 1999
"I am deeply frustrated to learn that the MTA is only considering a Second Avenue Subway that would end at 63rd Street. Although I am encouraged that there will most likely be money in the MTA’s Capital Plan for the new subway line, it is still clear that the MTA plan is simply inadequate. New York City needs a full length Second Avenue Subway that extends into the financial district.
