The Second Avenue Subway will run along Manhattans east side.
It will feature 16 stations across 8.5 miles of track, stretching from Hanover Square to 125th street.
The 16 stations of the new line have begun to take shape during this process.
It would be sensible for the MTAs design to adopt some of the concepts of WMATAs line in DC.
Intended or coincidental, it could be a more friendly shape for Second Avenue riders.
The goal is to open for riders in December 2016.
This would reflect nearly one hundred years of planning and development effort on behalf of New York City.
This time is different, as progress continues to take shape underground.
