The Trump administration will begin releasing funding for the East Harlem leg of the Second Avenue Subway, which it has withheld since last fall, following a lawsuit that the MTA filed last month to unfreeze the money.
Shortly before a Federal Court of Claims judge was set to hear arguments in the MTA’s suit on Thursday afternoon, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) released a letter it sent to the transit agency, noting that they had struck a deal to release the funds.
