This is a great project that adds to our system, so let's celebrate that it's done. This infrastructure will last generations--my subway station was built around 1907. Cost overruns and delays will soon be forgotten.  This would not have been my vote for $12 bn of capital dollars, but wherever it went, others would have complained. Parts of Queens and Brooklyn need service, the 2nd Ave line should be completed, the airports should be connected, etc. Yet, if one of those projects was done instead, the rest of the region would complain that it didn't help them.How about for a day we forget the complaints and just celebrate an improvement that will last generations?
