State and city officials yesterday railed against the city’s plans to build a 1.5-mile spur off the no. 7 subway line, arguing that extending the line without plans for a station at 41st Street and Tenth Avenue would deliver a crushing fiscal blow to the city.
Earlier this month, the city celebrated a groundbreaking for the no. 7 line extension, which would serve the Hudson Yards and open up the far West Side for commercial and residential development. The city is footing the $2.1 billion price tag for the extension of the line to a station at 34th Street and Eleventh Avenue, and Mayor Bloomberg has said the Metropolitan Transportation Authority would pay for any cost overruns, as well as for half the cost of a second station at 41st Street.
