I don’t think a new second ave subway station is going to be on the top of their of spending list. It cost $2.7 billion per mile for the last segment. Also, these are union jobs, you can’t just fire them.

They are useless and we been trying to find use for them and reassign for decades to other jobs. Regarding unions. let the MTA fail and state take over to renegotiate contract with them with aim of cutting these useless jobs

Nearly 200M a yr in payroll for them. That's 1 2nd Ave station every 5 yrs. Or 2 elevators every yr
