It will provide service from 96th Street to 63rd Street and will serve more than 200,000 people per day, reducing overcrowding on the Lexington Avenue Line and restoring a transit link to a neighborhood that lost the Second Avenue Elevated in 1940.
Got to love the positive spin. Doing the math, it took 77 years for the neighborhood to get its replacement service. How many of the people who were around the lose the elevated train are still around to appreciate the new subway?
