As with any new tunnel the biggest pain has been utility relocation. Last I saw, the whole south end mezz was all torn up to make way for the connection. The station is a complete mess though.

At least 3 times a week I sit in the station and watch 5-6 A/C trains pull through before one F train. I don't care if I am standing in cow dung, as long as I don't have to stand there for 15 minutes. How about focusing on actually having F trains come to the station?

I'm not the one whining. The Brooklyn pols are whining. I'm just relaying the info. The only times I ever use the Jay St. stop are while I'm sitting on the F. It's doesn't really impact my life. I also believe that Markowitz is just as concerned by the neglect happening <em>above</em> ground as they are the state of the station. Yes, it will be overhauled soon. That's good. Oy.

They are also making the station (although after the connection it will be a complex) fully ADA accessible. I can say that every morning for the past few weeks there is a lot of jackhammering from behind the blue walls. Exactly.
