East Side/West Side changes mark weekend advisories

by Benjamin Kabak

Earlier this week, we took a brief look at the Ravitch Commission. The 12 members tasked with saving the MTA are all highly-regarded transit and finance experts who will do their best to find the money to keep our trains running.

Today, Streetsblog lets us in a not-so-secret secret: A fair number of the commission members are suppporters of congestion pricing. Four of the 12 members, not counting Ravitch, would seem to support a congestion charge proposal, and my money’s on Ravitch’s commission producing a report calling for a fee. It will be much harder to ignore this plan than it was for the state legislature to shoot down Mayor Bloomberg’s fee.

Meanwhile, service advisories:


From 12:01 a.m. Saturday, June 14 to 5 a.m. Monday, June 16, uptown 1 trains skip 79th, 86th, 103rd, 110th, 116th, and 125th Streets due to station rehab at 96th Street and track chip-out at 110h Street.


From 12:01 a.m. Saturday, June 14 to 5 a.m. Monday, June 16, uptown 2 trains replace the 5 from Nevins Street to 149th Street-Grand Concourse. Uptown 5 trains replace the 2 from Chambers Street to 149th Street-Grand Concourse. These changes are due to the Clark Street tunnel lighting project.
