Spending includes Hudson Line upgrades The Metropolitan Transportation Authority on Wednesday (Sept. 25) approved a $68 billion capital plan that runs through 2029 and will shore up Metro-North's Hudson Line to better withstand the effects of global warming. "The board is pretty proud of this plan," said Neal Zuckerman, a Philipstown resident who represents Putnam County on the board and heads its finance committee. "It's $13 billion larger than our last capital plan. It's equally balanced between the Long Island Railroad and Metro-North. That hasn't been the case in a long time, even though our ridership is basically the same." The only outstanding question - which was also on the table for the previous plan, which covered 2020 to 2024 - is where the money will come from. Many projects from the previous plan are on hold because Gov. Kathy Hochul in June "paused" a congestion-pricing plan that had been expected to provide the MTA with $15 billion for capital projects. Hochul vowed to replace that funding but has not said how it will be done. The new capital plan does not have any funding from congestion pricing in it. Zuckerman said that the board has identified where about half the funding it needs will come from. "It's the responsibility of the governor and the Legislature to come up with" the rest, he said. The new plan mostly sticks to maintenance and upgrades instead of initiatives, except for a project to convert a lightly used freight line into a commuter rail connecting Roosevelt Avenue in Queens with the Brooklyn Army Terminal. For the Hudson Line, which includes Metro-North stops in Garrison, Cold Spring and Beacon, the plan allocates $800 million toward improvements recommended earlier this year in its Climate Resilience Roadmap. They include rehabilitating shorelines, stabilizing slopes and improving drainage. Hudson Line riders have faced delays because of flooding and mudslides caused by increasingly frequent extreme weather. The plan also includes an upgrade to the Brewster train yard that will allow the Hudson Line to utilize the next generation of railcars. Zuckerman said there are still subway and railcars in use that went into service 40 years ago, when the MTA unveiled its first capital plan. Upgrading the cars should increase what he said is riders' No. 1 concern: reliability. "What riders care about the most is on-time performance: 'Did I arrive on time?' 'Did I arrive safely?' 'Was my ride smooth and comfortable?'" Zuckerman said. "Even with its older cars, the MTA delivers on that mission. The problem is, when the cars reach a certain age, the maintenance costs become prohibitive."

.Armin and Valerie had the distinct honor of interviewing artist Robert Schefman about his life as an artist, his new body of work, The Secrets Project, and his recent notification of being a finalist in The Outwin 2022: American Portraiture Today exhibition at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery opening this spring. Born and raised in Detroit, Robert Schefman earned a BFA in sculpture from Michigan State University and an MFA in sculpture from the University of Iowa. He lived and worked in New York City for fourteen years, returning to the Detroit area in 1990. His work has been included in exhibitions at the Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit, MI; The Fort Wayne Museum of Art, Fort Wayne, IN; Oakland University Art Gallery, Rochester, MI; Midland Center for the Arts, Midland, MI; The Krasl Art Center, St. Joseph, MI; Manifest Research Gallery, Cincinnati, OH; Foley Square/ Federal Plaza, New York City; the Brooklyn Army Terminal, New York City; Ward's Island, New York City; and United Nations Plaza, New York City. Grants awarded include the Pollack-Krasner Foundation, the Bernard Maas Foundation, the Arts Foundation of Michigan, and the State of Michigan Creative Artist Grant. Schefman's drawings, paintings, and sculptures are in multiple private and public collections, including the Eli and Edythe Broad Museum of Art, East Lansing, MI; the Mint Museum of Art, Charlotte, NC; the Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit, MI; the Boca Raton Museum of Art, Boca Raton, FL; Wayne State University, Detroit, MI; Thomas M. Cooley Law School, Lansing, MI; and the University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA. The Secrets Project Robert Schefman's recent series of paintings and drawings explore the hidden world of secrets. Using social media as a device to reach a large audience, Schefman posted a request asking followers to send him one personal secret that he could use as a subject or an element in his paintings. The response was immediate and revealing. More than one hundred anonymous secrets were sent through the internet or by mail to the artist's post office box. Using the private information gathered from strangers' letters as a point from which to investigate the conceptual nature of secrets, Schefman explored the specific responses and began to develop the ideas for this series over the course of several years. Many of the pieces in the Secrets exhibition refer directly to the actual secrets touchingly revealed in the anonymous letters or messages received by the artist. Additionally poignant were the descriptions of relief or catharsis brought on by confessing personal baggage, often for the first time.

On tonight’s show we will be taking a look at businesses that bring New York City to life through their incredible tours. My guests will be Corey William Schneider, CEO and Founder of New York Adventure Club, and Joyce Gold, Founder of Joyce Gold History Tours. Segment 1 Jeff introduces his first guest, Joyce Gold, who has 40 years of touring experience, numerous encyclopedia entries of NYC. Joyce was originally from Pennsylvania, moving to NYC when she was 8 and has lived in the city ever since. She muses on how much has changed since her beginnings as a tour guide, becoming a full-time tour guide not long after conducting tours of Greenwich. Joyce then talks about the process that goes into designing her tours, how long it takes her to design a tour, and what inspires particular tours she has done in the past. Segment 2 Jeff and Joyce go further into what inspired her tours, specifically the Brooklyn neighborhood, Gowanus. Many of Joyce’s tours are inspired and based around specific incidents in history, such as the Revolutionary War, and ethnic communities. She even made a tour of Governor's Island, a 172-acre island in the heart of New York Harbor, soon after it was open to the public some 15 years ago. Joyce then goes into what makes her decide to update a tour and what helps her make those decisions. The segment ends with tours Joyce would love to give in the future, many of which are new neighborhoods focusing on technology and Hudson Square. Segment 3 Jeff introduces his next guest, Corey William Schneider. Corey isn’t originally from New York City, having lived in New Jersey prior, and has been in his business - New York Adventure Club - for 6 years. He goes into the beginnings of his business, what inspired it, and some of the goofy logistics that shaped it into what it is today. One of the first “adventure tours” that Corey designed included Brooklyn Army Terminal and was especially impressed by the aesthetic of its architectural design. Corey then goes into how his approach to designing tours over the years has evolved, especially now that he gets many referrals of different places. Segment 4 Corey talks about what neighborhoods and tours are especially memorable for him, having a special attachment to Lower Manhattan. He then talks about how New York Adventure Club has been dealing with the coronavirus lockdown, working with artists, musicians, vendors, etc. to find a way to translate their tours into a virtual medium. Despite the difficult situation, NYAC has been very successful with plans to keep virtual tours past the lockdown. Corey still has ambitions of expanding his business beyond New York City and feels even more enthusiastic after the success of his virtual tours.

In this episode of The Gotham Center podcast "Sites and Sounds," Barbara Christen talks about the Brooklyn Army Terminal, the military site-turned-manufacturing complex in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, designed by the famous architect Cass Gilbert. Christen, who holds a PhD in architectural history from The Graduate Center (CUNY), is the author of a celebrated biography of Gilbert, who gained a national reputation for designing the Alexander Hamilton custom house and pioneering skyscrapers downtown, like the Woolworth. Here, she tells us about Gilbert’s commission in the last year of World War I: to build a cargo station, later the largest military supply base in World War II, and since then, a commercial warehouse and space for light industry.
