Maybe you did not read the announcement. So I will mention the latest story about the New York subway. The New York mayor was pleased to announcement that Manhatten's Second Ave Line will be opening in the first month of 2017. It was noted that the announcement was met with approval by those patrons on the east side because they will, for the first time, be served by the subway system. I found it interesting that this is the first phase of the project, and I would like to add the following comment. Apparently, the project was first proposed in 1920, and there was no mention of when the next phase will be completed. Also, the cost of this first phase of the project was 4.5 billion dollars for the 2 miles of subway. For those of you that are interested, please note that the cost per inch of the subway project was approximately $35,511 per inch. This looks like it is another example New York city's fine on-time and under-budget city government at work.
