MTA is currently advancing the design for Phase 2, including: • Station layouts – locations of platforms, entrances, and ancillary buildings • Need for property acquisition • Field investigation – geotechnical borings drilled through the street and sidewalk to provide information on soil and rock layers; investigation of existing utilities MTA is also conducting environmental review to evaluate the impacts of the new subway on the community and environment. As part of this process, MTA has incorporated and will continue to seek measures to reduce impacts as part of Phase 2 of the subway wherever possible.

Proposed Station Platforms
With the recent opening of Phase 1 of the Second Avenue Subway, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is now advancing Phase 2. Phase 1 extended Q subway service from 63rd Street to 96th Street along Manhattan’s East Side, with new stations at 72nd, 86th, and 96th Streets, providing one-seat service from the Upper East Side to Times Square and on to Coney Island via the Broadway line. Phase 2 will extend into East Harlem to 125th Street and include three new stations at 106th, 116th, and 125th Streets. Phase 2 will provide direct passenger connections to the Lexington Avenue (4/5/6) subway line at 125th Street and an entrance at Park Avenue to allow convenient transfers to Metro-North Railroad.

Phase 2 Stations:Like the new stations in Phase 1, the stations in Phase 2 at 106th Street, 116th Street, and 125th Street will be bright and modern. The stations will be air tempered (cooled) and will have entrances with elevators and escalators. All stations will be accessible consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act.Each station will have above-ground ancillary buildings that house ventilation, mechanical, and electrical equipment. These will include space for possible ground-floor retail.
What’s Happening Now?MTA is currently advancing the design for Phase 2, including:
• Station layouts – locations of platforms, entrances, and ancillary buildings
• Need for property acquisition• Field investigation – geotechnical borings drilled
through the street and sidewalk to provide information on soil and rock layers; investigation of existing utilities
MTA is also conducting environmental review to evaluate the impacts of the new subway on the community and environment. As part of this process, MTA has incorporated and will continue to seek measures to reduce impacts as part of Phase 2 of the subway wherever possible.
Second Avenue Subway Phase 2
Construction Construction of Phase 2 of the Second Avenue Subway will include moving some utilities (water, sewer, electric) currently located under Second Avenue away from the construction zone, excavation for the new tunnel and stations, and construction of the station entrances, ancillary buildings, and connections to the 4/5/6 subway at Lexington Avenue. MTA is seeking to minimize construction impacts on the community as much as possible.
Environmental ReviewThe National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires environmental review for projects that will seek federal funding. As required by NEPA, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and MTA evaluated the full proposed Second Avenue Subway between 125th Street and the Financial District in an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) completed in 2004. Because of the long duration for completion of the new subway, FTA and MTA will prepare an updated supplemental NEPA environmental document for each phase of the subway. Each supplemental NEPA document will evaluate updated conditions and any refinements to the project design from what was presented in the 2004 EIS.FTA and MTA have completed a Supplemental Environmental Assessment (EA) that evaluates the impacts of Phase 2 of the Second Avenue Subway and are now inviting comments from the public on the information presented in the Supplemental EA.

SUMMARY OF IMPACTS
ConstructionImpacts
• Overall construction for approximately9 years, with construction at somelocations for shorter periods
• Traffic disruption, noise, visualappearance of construction sites,temporary modified access to buildings
PermanentOperational
Impacts
• Beneficial impacts of new subwayservice and enhanced transitaccessibility
• New ancillary buildings 90 to 140 feethigh on Second Avenue, 45 to 75 feethigh on 125th Street; designed to becompatible with neighborhood setting
• New station entrances on both SecondAvenue and 125th Street (see graphicon previous page)
• Need for acquisition of private propertyto accommodate entrances and ancillaryfacilities: possible acquisition of 36 to39 properties and partial acquisitionof 4 to 5 properties. This would resultin an estimated displacement of 170residents and 157 to 505 employees.As with Phase 1 of the Project, MTA willwork with owners and tenants, and willfollow all state and federal regulations forcompensation and displacement, as wellas robust MTA real estate protocols.
