Still in our hearts and minds: the Second Avenue subway line
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s plans for subway entrances along the Second Avenue line include stations with arched glass canopies in the concept—though not the style—of the great Art Nouveau station entrances in Paris, but neighborhood residents aren’t saying c’est si bon. The planned structures have been called an “attractive nuisance and a safety hazard” by residents of nearby neighborhoods.
Ventilation structures up to several stories high may be required in some areas of the perpetually-under-construction subway line to take the place of no-longer regulation-compliant subway grates. This possibility has residents of the Upper East Side neighborhoods along the subway’s path up in arms.
