VIDEO: Hear for Yourself What the MTA Says Options for L Train Shutdown Are
(DNAINFO) Gwynn Hogan | February 25, 2016 — State Senator Daniel Squadron pushed MTA Chairman Thomas Pendergast at a Thursday hearing.
Prendergast described the two options the MTA is currently considering — a total shutdown that would take around 18 months or shutting down one tube at a time, severely reducing service, which would take double that amount.
“What were going to do is try to compress as much as possible, the construction time to do the work that’s necessary,” Prendergast said. “There are a number of options that are being looked at.”
