The community has the right to complain, the MTA doesn’t promise anything on time anyway, all their recent projects have been delayed for months, especially for the stations in Jamaica. A 6-7 month construction project is enough time, I would accept a month of delay or 2 Edited April 19 by Chris89292 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallyhorse Posted April 22 Share #80 Posted April 22 I suspect a lot of this is not having enough workers for such. Many people retired during the pandemic and will continue to take some time for all those positions to be filled again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris89292 Posted April 27 Author Share #81 Posted April 27 (edited) I think the cause of the delays was because of the queensboro plaza elevator project that shut down the line in half for 3 weeks, which disrupt track access at 82nd and 111 street, all of this happening in January and February is what causes the project to get delayed to April rather then it’s original opening date in March Edited April 27 by Chris89292 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris89292 Posted Friday at 02:07 PM Author Share #82 Posted Friday at 02:07 PM Today is officially the last day of Flushing bound service at 111 and 82nd Street, 11:45 PM Also a quick update at Woodside 61st street, the contractors are installing new steel beams where the express tracks are since the old ones have been in such corroded conditions, I’m pretty sure this is the reason why the project is so delayed, it also explains the big huge yellow machines on both ends of the station 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris89292 Posted 10 hours ago Author Share #83 Posted 10 hours ago It seems like 69th and 52nd street will be seeing overcoat painting beneath the platforms “I’m referring to the steel beams” there is strange yellow wood planks beneath the train tracks, and there is some construction noise around that area. Also at Queensboro Plaza, the first LED ads are being installed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ale188 Posted 9 hours ago Share #84 Posted 9 hours ago they should honestly should add some safety features like PFSD and such to these revamped stations 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
