A long-awaited second entrance for the deep and cavernous York Street subway station on the F line in DUMBO, Brooklyn, would cost nearly half a billion dollars to build, according to the MTA.
The eye-watering price tag to construct a full new entry and exit to the station would be between $420 million-$450 million, Metropolitan Transportation Authority reps told a committee of local Community Board 2 in a presentation Thursday.
Installing only a new set of elevators would still cost a whopping $230 million-$260 million, according to a copy of the slides obtained by amNewYork Metro.
Отсюда Я понимаю, сложности строительства, но полмиллиарда за дополнительный вход на станцию метро с эскалаторами?? Она менее 30 метров под землей (80 футов), а тут это преподносится как жуткий вызов. Где фонд борьбы с коррупцией??
