A big part of the reason for this is that the MTA was trying to avoid environmental review for the toxic mess they had planed to take out of the tunnel, so they weren't really working on the elevator part, and lying to the community. The elevator shafts were to be the access point for the 24/7 trucks that were planned for the hole where the elevators should be. A total con job that was thankfully stopped by people smarter than the MTA. The neighborhood luckily dodged a gigantic toxic bullet thanks to the people who figured out a better way to renovate (isn't that supposed to be the MTA's job?)Over 3 years to put in elevators and dig a hole- your tax dollars (not at) work for the sleazy and incompetent MTA.MTAtoxichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01107611815421613057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-19556654408168019842019-09-30T09:40:24.363-04:002019-09-30T09:40:24.363-04:00I worry about the coffee shop; sometimes I got in ...I worry about the coffee shop; sometimes I got in there to eat, even if I'm not in the mood for diner food, just to throw some business at them. And like @nobleneolani, I fear it's just a matter of time before all of those one-story buildings are bought up, torn down and turned into more hulking light- and sun-blocking behemoths with giant retail spaces that will remain empty for vast stretches of time.
