While services are facing the budget cut, the MTA is hoping to bring some more stations up to date. According to the Daily News’ Pete Donohue, the transportation agency has filed a draft amendment to its capital plan that “includes funds to upgrade communications in 44 subway stations, repair some of the worst station stairwells and platforms, and seal up the most flood-prone subway tunnels.” These are, of course, vital projects intended to keep the subway system in operation during emergencies both weather-related and not.

“…and seal up the most flood-prone subway tunnels”
Yeah, I could see how that might be a little important. You know, since the tunnels are underground and all.
You mean these are vital projects intended to keep the subway system in operation, *whether* or not they actually happen? 🙂
