Congestion pricing: Harlem residents fume after Second Avenue Subway extension shelved following Hochul’s toll pause

Harlem locals are fuming after hearing the news that the Second Avenue Subway extension to the neighborhood had been halted weeks after Gov. Kathy Hochul put the congestion pricing plan on ice.

Extending the Second Avenue Subway northward to 125th Street in Harlem from its current Upper East Side terminus at 96th Street was to have been funded through the toll revenue that the MTA was to reap from congestion pricing.
