Gateway Development Commission (GDC) has received the full reimbursement owed to us from the federal government and now has more than $205 million available to fund work on the Hudson Tunnel Project, GDC said in a statement. We are working with our contractors to deploy these funds to resume work as soon as possible. Letters will be sent to contractors today, and construction activities are expected to resume next week, GDC added.
Gov. Kathy Hochul announced on Tuesday that the Trump administration has released just over half of the $205 million in Gateway Tunnel funding it froze in October but the rail project's work stoppage will only end when the full amount is provided. Hochul gathered with construction workers at the Manhattan Gateway construction site on Feb. 17 revealed that the Trump administration released another $77 million it had frozen last fall to the Gateway Development Commission (GDC), which is leading construction on the effort.
The New York Rangers have a storied history that spans 100 years, during which countless players have walked the halls of Madison Square Garden, wearing the iconic blue (or white) Rangers sweater. While not all the names stitched on the back of these jerseys are well-known, these obscure Rangers still hold a place in Rangers history. Here is a look at some more players you might not remember who scored obscure goals as a New York Ranger.
By 1902, apartments in the row were advertised to "small, select families" looking for large rooms, accommodations for live-in servants, and modern amenities like telephone service. This unit was featured as Co-op of the Day in 2021, asking $1.985 million and selling in 2022 for $2.225 million. While there are some new decorative touches since last on the market, the original details, which include mantels, fretwork, built-ins, and wood floors, are still in place.
The New York Rangers are embarking on their second iteration of a letter-inspired retool-let's be honest, rebuild is more apt-and much like the last time, veterans on expiring contracts or valuable contracts must beware. The Rangers-Chris Drury-made it very clear in the letter that the goal is not to tear apart the team. The logical assumption is that the majority of players under the age of, say, 27, will remain on the roster past the trade deadline, but I argue that everyone should be on the table, and both Braden Schneider and Will Cuylle should be traded.
As rumors fly regarding the Rangers retool, Braden Schneider's name has come up numerous times. Outside of Vincent Trocheck, Schneider would bring back the biggest return as a young right handed defenseman with pedigree. The NHL loves young RHDs that have a reputation for being solid defensively, and his trade return would move the Rangers forward significantly. However this wouldn't be a topic without the Will Borgen contract, as Chris Drury's tunnel vision is going to cost him dearly.
A Manhattan judge ruled Thursday that the configuration of New York City's sole Republican-held Congressional district is unconstitutional, and the map must be redrawn. Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey Pearlman ruled in favor of four residents of Staten Island's 11th Congressional District, represented by U.S. Rep. Nicole Mallliotakis, concluding that the boundaries unlawfully dilute the voting power of Black and Latino residents.
Drury held a private conversation with Panarin, explaining that the pending free agent will not receive an extension offer from the team. It's hard to say how I feel, Panarin said on Saturday night following a rare 6-3 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. I'm still confused, but the GM decided to go in a different direction. I'm OK with that.
The 16-day mayor, who previously had criticized his predecessor's policy, has declined repeatedly to give a straight answer about the policy - which Streetsblog has confirmed is ongoing despite Mamdani's promise to lead a bike-friendly administration. Reporters have unsuccessfully asked Mamdani several times in the past two weeks to clarify his police department's policy. When pressed for a least the fourth time on Friday, Mamdani again declined to answer "yes" or "no," instead promising to "follow up" on the matter.
Mamdani announced the new public bathroom plan in West Harlem, where a new bathroom will be installed later this year, he said. Everyone knows the feeling of needing a bathroom and not being able to find one, Mamdani said at the Jan. 10 press conference, which was flush with bathroom puns and innuendo. With this new commitment to public toilets, we're ensuring New Yorkers can travel through our city with a little less anxiety, starting today at 12th and St. Clair.
Ryan Leonard handed Anthony Beauvillier a perfect pass to give the Caps an early lead. Vincent Trochek neutralized that lead with a tip-in in the final minute of the first period. Canadian patriot Tom Wilson finished a monster shift with his 20th goal, followed by Justin Sourdif (!) scoring on the power play (!!) assisted by Ovechkin (!!!). Adam Fox fired an outside shot that deflected off Nic Dowd to make it 3-2 Caps after two periods.
Happy Holidays everyone! Live From the Blue Seats is going to be back at it some time tomorrow, releasing the same day. Unsure what time, but we are aiming for tomorrow morning. Use this post to submit your questions for us, as there's a lot to talk about with this Rangers team. As always, we will be answering your questions as well.
"For a guy like me, watching these games (injured) sucks," Hughes said. "To get back out there, personally, I'm just grateful I was able to have a chance to get back out there."
Reinvent Albany said in a statement that the bill - S6815/ A8292 - is "bad policy and bad governance" because "it is not the role of the Legislature to manage New York City bus lanes and be involved in the day-to-day operations of MTA buses." "The bill allows MTA workers to cite being on the clock and in an agency vehicle to defend themselves from prosecutions for parking violations," the group added.
