US Rep. Adriano Espaillat stood with Harlem leaders Thursday to denounce the Trump administration’s decision to withhold nearly $18 billion in federal funding for New York City transit projects, warning the freeze will cost jobs and stall long-promised subway access for East Harlem.
Speaking inside the Second Avenue Subway Community Information Center on 125th Street, Espaillat stressed that the community has waited “over 100 years” for the project and vowed to keep pressing for federal support.
