City Paints Squiggly Lines Along Neptune Avenue | Economic Spray Machine

Late last year, the Times published an article, by Brian M. Rosenthal, that took a hard look at East Side Access. It revealed a world of graft and waste. There was, for example, the accountant who couldn’t understand how nine hundred people were on a project that had jobs for only seven hundred. The two hundred no-show positions were eliminated, but, according to a senior project manager, they had been costing a thousand dollars a day each for an unknown number of years. Another example, not itself news: work rules stipulate that twenty-five people must be present to run a tunnel-boring machine that in other cities is run by eight or nine workers. The bidding on major jobs is barely competitive—two or three construction companies may offer bids, in an industry where eight is standard. The favored construction companies and unions are usually big contributors to political campaigns, including Governor Cuomo’s. Consulting firms charge exorbitant fees, which the M.T.A. does not question. Subway construction in New York costs six times what it costs in Paris.

Byford has assured union leaders that he doesn’t plan to remove drivers from trains. “For a start, we’ve got very long trains, carrying lots of people, going under rivers,” he says. “New York is a major terror target. So I find this very scary.” In any case, walling off every platform in New York would be colossally expensive—perhaps even more expensive than installing C.B.T.C. system-wide, which is the M.T.A.’s plan. It’s currently being installed on the Flushing line, where there have once again been cost overruns and missed deadlines and years of service disruptions. Project managers are now saying that the work will be finished in the fall of 2018. At the current pace, converting the entire subway to C.B.T.C. will take another forty years, barring delays.

We clattered through the Canarsie Tube, which passes under the East River and, like eight other subway tunnels, was flooded during Superstorm Sandy, in 2012. Seven million gallons of salt water found its way into the Canarsie Tube. The damage to subway cabling from corrosion was extensive, and the repairs have been strictly temporary patches.
