SUBJECT	Re: [Hangout - NYLXS] The MTA SUCKS - what is 40 billio dollars

(John McCarten) The New York subway chief claims to have the magic bullet to curb wasteful spending in the MTA. “You now have fresh thinking,” transit bigwig Andy Byford told the City Council on Tuesday as he pressed for $40 billion to fund his grand vision for the subway and bus network. He convinced at least one key lawmaker. Byford testified before the Council’s Transportation Committee for three hours harping on better train performance while pitching his plan, called Fast Forward, that’s centered on resignaling 11 subway lines over 10 years with modern tech called communications-based train control. “The thing that’s holding us back is the signaling system,” Byford said. He said he’ll soon announce a new hire to oversee installation of the new system. With poor subway service plaguing riders, Byford assured the lawmakers that there’s a cultural shift at the MTA that can better manage public funding. To pay for the Fast Forward plan’s potential $40 billion price tag, Byford said he’d need city, state and federal funding for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which is state-controlled. He cautioned that congestion pricing for all motorists in Manhattan would fall short of what is needed. Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez, the chair of the transportation committee, said he wants state lawmakers to pass congestion pricing plus a tax on high-earning New Yorkers that Mayor de Blasio wants. “I personally will lead any initiative to make the voice loud and clear that the city should be open to increase the contribution, as the state should do the same thing,” Rodriguez said. “But that money should be dedicated only to the MTA and that money should only be used for maintenance and repair.” But a Brooklyn city councilman suggested that de Blasio’s transit priorities are not only misplaced in pushing a Brooklyn-Queens waterfront trolley, called the BQX, but hurting the chances of getting Byford’s plan funded. “This is I think of an example of where the emperor has no clothes,” Councilman Carlos Menchaca said. “I feel like the mayor just does not understand this is a terrible project.” Menchaca, a democrat, emphasized that de Blasio’s interest in the BQX could “have a negative impact” on Byford’s proposal because of the amount of energy going into the mayor’s pet project. "The Byford plan sets the right priorities, but the mayor believes we need a long-term revenue source such as a tax on the wealthiest millionaires in our city to help the trains run on time," de Blasio spokeswoman Jaclyn Rothenberg said. -- So many immigrant groups have swept through our town that Brooklyn, like Atlantis, reaches mythological proportions in the mind of the world - RI Safir 1998 http://www.mrbrklyn.com DRM is THEFT - We are the STAKEHOLDERS - RI Safir 2002 http://www.nylxs.com - Leadership Development in Free Software http://www.brooklyn-living.com Being so tracked is for FARM ANIMALS and and extermination camps, but incompatible with living as a free human being. -RI Safir 2013 _______________________________________________ Hangout mailing list Hangout-at-nylxs.com http://lists.mrbrklyn.com/mailman/listinfo/hangout
