Dear Lucas,
As you may recall, I was recently on the morning show Good Day NY talking about the Second Avenue subway. In particular, we discussed my bill to require the MTA to monitor air quality along the route and to put that data up online.
　
That's why I am pleased to share some good news. After that appearance, the MTA agreed to work with me on this issue. Now, not only are they testing at ten sites, today we announced that the MTA is putting the data up online on a weekly basis.
I believe that having access to this data will help New Yorkers breathe a little easier. If you're interested, you can view the air quality monitoring reports by visiting www.mta.info/sasair .
This is a big step in the right direction. I'll continue working to make sure the MTA does everything it can to mitigate the impact of Second Avenue construction on our community.
Best,
Jessica Lappin
