Transportation
- Over the last six years, New York City’s Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) has invested almost $3 billion in bridge inspections, maintenance and reconstruction. Over the next two years, we will devote an additional $2 billion in bridge capital projects.
- In that same period, NYCDOT has also achieved a 30% increase in roadway lane-miles resurfaced each year, giving New Yorkers better, safer streets. Pothole repair within 30 days reached a difficult-to-beat 99.9% rate during the last fiscal year.
- We are fully funding a $2 billion extension to the No. 7 subway line, through municipal Tax Increment Financing bond sales.
- In addition, the City is supporting the work of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) in developing a capital plan for the next five years. Currently estimated to be $23 to $28 billion, these monies will be spent on state-of-good repair projects as well as long-term transit improvements.
Energy Supply and Delivery
- The City is working with the private sector to update existing plants, build new plants, and construct additional transmission lines, to meet the need for 2,000 to 3,000 megawatts of additional clean energy supply. We have also called for an expansion to our natural gas infrastructure.
- Con Edison will spend more than $7.5 billion over the next five years to expand and upgrade its electric-delivery infrastructure.
Water Quality and Network
- We have begun tunneling the Manhattan leg of City Water Tunnel #3. The tunnel is now projected to cost more than $6 billion when completed in 2013.
- New York City’s Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP) has begun construction of five wastewater treatment plants, at a cost of $700 million, and activated a new combined sewer outfall plant last year, at a cost of $300 million.
- NYCDEP has also initiated construction of the Croton Filtration plant, at a total cost of $2.8 billion.
- The City has constructed close to 400 miles of new water mains and another 350 miles of sewers in the past six years.
- The City is also planning to build the largest ultraviolet disinfection plant in the world, at a cost of $1.7 billion.
Telecommunications
- The New York City Wireless Network (NYCWiN) is the most aggressive commitment by any municipality in the county to provide a next-generation public safety network.
