Much as I hate to promote the fulsome, self-serving crap that comes out of Hochul's office:

https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-hochul-announces-plans-expand-major-transit-projects-and-improve-roadway-safety

Of course there wasn't a word about Penn Station or through-running, which is strange considering where the IBX is slated to run...

Still don't understand why they would run light rail on a grade seperated line.  It would seem natural to use existing subway equipment.

It may reduce that "Traffic jam in Harlem that's backed up to Jackson Heights."

 
Take the A Train.  It's the fastest way to get to Harlem.
