The MTA’s Second Avenue Subway project is getting a second life. MTA Federal stimulus payments to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) are paying off in terms of the chance for the completion of the Second Avenue Subway project in East Harlem. The global pandemic sent transit agencies into a financial tailspin last year, and almost scratched work on the project that would extend the Q line to 125 th Street. However, now that MTA’s budget has been rescued by more emergency federal funds the Second Avenue Subway project is back on, and it could get another boost if President Biden’s infrastructure bill is passed by Congress.
