Second Avenue Subway Construction

The East Side of Manhattan is currently undergoing one of the most significant construction projects in decades -- the creation of the long-awaited Second Avenue subway. The construction has begun and will eventually run through parts of most of Manhattan. While the Second Avenue Subway will eventually bring much needed transportation improvements to the East Side, it is currently having a substantially negative effect on local businesses.

As former Chief of Staff for Assembly Member Jonathan L. Bing, I had the opportunity to work on drafting the Second Avenue Subway Construction Economic Development Grant Program, as well as working the MTA and Second Avenue Business Association to launch the Shop Second Avenue campaign. While this bill originally passed both houses, it was vetoed by the Governor and has not passed both since. I will reintroduce the legislation on a City level and continue to fight to keep and grow jobs in the district.

Endorsement: 

I believe Ben Kallos is the only choice for District 5 City Council, because is a native Upper East Sider who knows the issues close to the community and has innovative and progressive solutions to resolve them. He is also a down to Earth candidate who works side by side with community members to get the job done. He is NOT a candidate who delegates tasks from an office seat. That is why I endorse Benjamin Kallos for City Council Seat District 5.
