The MTA is currently in twin lawsuits against the owners of three East Harlem apartment buildings, claiming access delays threaten costly setbacks to the $7.7 billion Second Avenue subway expansion.
Negotiations to access the properties have stalled, leading the MTA to seek a court order to ensure they can conduct necessary pre-construction work without further delay.
With the planned expansion, the MTA expects the addition of three new stations in East Harlem will serve over 100,000 riders daily, making timely access critical.
The expansion project is further complicated by broader funding issues linked to Governor Kathy Hochul’s pause on congestion pricing, raising concerns over its timeline.
