MTA has 'stopped work on 2nd Avenue subway' due to congestion pricing pause, officials say
A top MTA official said Tuesday work on extending the Second Avenue subway into East Harlem has stopped due to Gov. Kathy Hochul's pause on congestion pricing — hours after the governor herself said the long-sought project to East Harlem would proceed.
”We have, in a couple of cases, issued stop work orders on projects that do not strictly meet that state of good repair requirement.” The mixed messaging from the MTA and Hochul highlighted the ongoing confusion stemming from her unexpected decision to hold off on the tolls, which were slated to finance $15 billion worth of transit upgrades. MTA officials last week said theyHochul's office did not immediately respond to questions about Torres-Springer's comments.
