Second Avenue Subway Phase 2 Takes Step Forward
The federal government has signed off on the plan for Phase 2 of the Second Avenue Subway.
Brendan Krisel reports that the Federal Transit Administration issued a "Finding of No Significant Impact" to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's plan to extend the Second Avenue Subway into East Harlem, a key step toward delivering Phase 2 of the subway construction project.
"The issuance of a 'FONSI' will allow the MTA to begin securing federal funding for the project, transit officials announced," adds Krisel. "The FONSI was needed after the MTA updated its original Environmental Impact Statement from 2004."
