The long-promised expansion of the Second Avenue Subway was intended to address a longstanding transit gap in East Harlem. But as construction advances, the project has also exposed a deeper tension between infrastructure investment and displacement.
Join WNYC's NYC Now for a live podcast taping and community conversation with residents, business owners, and MTA officials to discuss what it means to invest in transit without displacing the communities it is meant to serve.
This is the fourth event in a five-part live community series focused on New York City’s affordability crisis. IN CONVERSATION: THE AFFORDABILITY SERIES brings New Yorkers together across lines of income, identity, and experience to explore how the affordability crisis impacts their lives—and where shared interests can lead to deeper understanding and solutions.
Light fare will be served following the discussion. There will also be trivia and a chance to take home some WNYC swag!
Tickets are free with advance registration.
