Gov. Kathy Hochul allocated $54 million from discretionary funds to continue the Second Avenue subway project after halting congestion pricing, ensuring work progresses as planned.
The extension to East Harlem aims to improve transit access for a historically neglected community and lessen the burden on heavily crowded train lines in the area.
The allocated funds could also safeguard $2 billion in federal spending for the project, which requires a specific level of local funding to access the grant.
