The W Train Set To Return?! Since the MTA budget cuts in 2010, numerous trains and bus lines have been suspended. However, it seems like one of the suspended lines maybe making a grand comeback.

As the MTA prepare to unveil the new second avenue subway later this year, reps have confirmed that the W train will reportedly be brought back to life. However, nothing is set in stone until the MTA has their public hearing this spring to address how this will occur. Nonetheless, bringing back the W train will be a better replacement for the rerouted Q trains from Astoria. The subway will cover stops between the 63rd and the 96th street stations. The second avenue subway is expected to be up and running by December 2016.

The return of the W train will cost a pretty penny—more specifically 13.7 million dollars, according to AM New York. The cost will cover the expenses of new signs, stop facades, and maps. The estimated time to get all this done will be about four months, according to John Montemarano, MTA’s director of signage.

In addition to the second avenue subway, there are reports of a number of subway improvements that are highly anticipated specifically amongst East New York residents, according to the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. A five year capital budget has been proposed to connect the Livonia Avenue (L) and the Junius Street (3) subway lines in Brownsville. Before this idea was even mentioned strap hangers would have to walk along a dismal area and pay a second fare in order to get from one line to the other. The MTA has budgeted $30 million for the project and an extra $15 million will goes towards making the subway ADA accessible.

This proposed idea comes with excitement from Brooklyn Borough President, Eric Adams, as Brownsville sometimes feels a bit ignored and left out.

“Connecting the Livonia Avenue and Junius Street stations on the L and 3 lines, respectively, is an imperative for these growing and oft-ignored communities, and I am pleased that the MTA has at last heeded the call for capital investment in this plan,” he added, calling the double fare “unfair to residents already struggling to make ends meet,” said Adams.

Another budget of $5 million is being proposed for an extension of Eastern Parkway for the 3 and 4 trains to provide service at Utica avenue.
