Weekend work impacting 11 subway lines

Hot town, summer in the city. Nothing rings true more than the Lovin’ Spoonful’s lyric right about it. It’s stifling in New York, and I’ve fled to the slightly cooler climes of the Berkshires for the weekend. If you’re stuck in our concrete jungle this weekend, head to the beach. Find some shade. See a movie. Stay cool.

But if you’re going anywhere, pay attention to the service advisories. As always, these are courtesy of the MTA and may change without warning. Check signs; listen to announcements. We’ll talk buses and new fare payment systems next week, and on Monday, expect an update on the status of the Second Ave. Subway. The MTA’s board committee meeting materials for this week’s sessions have a big old gap where the project’s update should be. Is it a sign of delay? Whatever the reason, the MTA is keeping this one tight-lipped this week.
