MTA doubles down on new fare gates, plans to expand to 20 more NYC subway stations

The MTA is doubling down on its new glass fare gates, expanding them to 20 more subway stations across the city, touting a 35% reduction in fare evasion and projected savings of $100 million annually. The expansion will replace turnstiles at all station entrances, rather than just some station entrances as had been the case for the first 20 stations with the gates under a pilot program launched last year. The pilot gates cut into fare evasion by an average of 35% and could recover $100 million a year in unpaid fares, officials said Wednesday. “When something works, we double down,” Hochul said at a press conference at the MTA’s Consolidated Revenue Facility in Queens. Blakeman urges Jewish New Yorkers to ‘get into this fight’ ahead of November election Gov. Kathy Hochul walked through the MTA’s new gates which they set up at the MTA’s Consolidated Revenue Facilityfacility in Queens. Susan Watts/Office of Governor Kathy Hochul “These new fare gates have created a better riding experience for customers and made it harder for would-be fare evaders to enter the system without paying.” The MTA loses roughly $350 million annually from fare beaters.

Tunnel boring on $16B Gateway project gets underway

(The Center Square) — The governors of New York and New Jersey on Monday touted a "milestone" in the massive $16 billion Gateway rail project, with the first phase of tunnel boring getting underway. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said building the new rail connection under the Hudson River has "been a dream for over a generation" but comes after a hard-fought battle with the Trump administration over federal funding for the project. “We fought and beat efforts from the Trump administration to halt the Gateway project and today, that dream becomes a reality, with state of the art machinery operated by expert union workers starting their journey through soil and bedrock under the Hudson to Penn Station," Hochul, a Democrat, said in remarks. "This is a historic day for New York and a clear demonstration of our ambitions to once again be a state that dreams and builds big." During the first stage of the construction, a pair of boring machines will carve a nearly one-mile underground path through the Palisades in New Jersey, officials said Monday. The two machines will excavate nearly 5,100 feet of tunnel through solid rock between North Bergen and Weehawken, they said. Once that

Businesses warn NY's plan to fix Boston Post Road will harm economy

New York's plan to put a stretch of Boston Post Road on a diet, slimming it down from four lanes to three, has sparked a minor revolt among businesses in Larchmont and Mamaroneck. Merchants fear they’ll lose customers when parking spaces are reduced to accommodate for wider lanes and the addition of a bike lane. They’ve started an online petition titled “Save the Boston Post Road” to encourage the state Department of Transportation to heed their concerns. Among the organizers is Shelley Magrino, the owner of Mangone’s Garden Center. On its busiest days during Christmas and Halloween, the center attracts 300 or more customers, most of whom park along the road. “If we don't have parking, these customers are then going to be forced to circle around the residential areas that surround the garden center looking for parking and, I'm quite honest, those private communities don't want people driving all around all day looking for parking or taking their on-street parking,” Magrino said. What is NY's plan for Boston Post Road? The state DOT, with $16 million in its capital plan to repave a section of Boston Post Road, also known as U.S. Route 1, began discussions with local towns
