Cuomo wants last-minute review of L-Train shutdown plans
Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday said he plans to order a last-minute review of the closure of the L train’s East River tunnel linking Brooklyn and Manhattan – which is slated to begin in April and last 15 months.
Cuomo made his announcement on the public radio station WNYC.
“I can’t tell you the number of people in Brooklyn who have come up to me and looked me in the eye and said, ‘Are you sure there’s nothing else that can be done?’” Cuomo said.
