	What’s Happening With The Second Avenue Subway Line? Not Much
		Despite 33 years, millions of dollars, hundreds of speeches, and immeasurable straphanger frustration, the Second Avenue line is barely one stop closer to reality then it was that day in 1972-and for that matter, in the 1920’s, when it was first proposed.
		Nonetheless, he said the importance of the lines is “self evident” from the economic studies an increase in business and in real estate values along the line and the environmental studies showing reductions in automobile traffic, and thus the noise and emission.
		But if all this money went to the line along with $450 million more from the bond act, the total would be just $1.7 billion dollar, or 10% of the $16.8 billion the fully built line is projected to cost.
