^ Valone supported the N subway extension a few months ago but I do agree that some Astoria residents would derail the project again. I could see the elevated line extended over 21st avenue but it would have to raze a few homes.

Also, considering that we have a pro-watered down "Bus Rapid Transit" mayor and a governor that hates mass transit for some reason, it's true that it won't happen anytime soon. The airtrain is most likely to get built but that will have to be after the renovation is finished (or when/if space for rail is built).

Wait -- will there actually be space for rail at the new airport? I'm a bit skeptical because the PA (or worse if Cuomo gets his hand on it) can choose not to build it due to cost overruns or something else. The missing #7 stop was bad enough.

Finally, I don't want to start with the union/work regulations stuff but I honestly don't think it will take 7 years to complete. Look at the mess at Fulton Center, PATH Terminal, and Moynihan Station Phase 1.
