Hi freshpondroadstation! Also on October 27th: in 1972, Mayor John V. Lindsay and Governor Nelson Rockerfeller broke ground at East 103d Street and Second Avenue for the Second Avenue Subway. Unfortunately, the fiscal crisis hit in 1975 under Mayor Abraham Beame and the SAS was left out of the Capital Budget in 1976. Only four sections under construction were completed. Two of the completed sections are East 99th to East 105th Streets and East 110th to East 120th Streets. There is also a section from Canal to Pell Streets. The fourth section, which may not be entirely complete is East 2d to East 9th Streets. 70(EE)
