Manhattan Community Board 11

Dear Community Stakeholders,

The MTA’s controlled blasting for advancement of Phase 2 of the Second Avenue Subway Project, is now set to being Thursday, June 11.

As previously communicated, this will start with a period of test blasting which will consist of three test blasts conducted over a 7-day period. After each test blast, data will be collected to confirm the blasting plan, the zone of influence, and all safety measures.

Upon completion of the test period and confirmation of blast plans, including any adjustments determined necessary by the testing phase, production blasting will commence.

Production blasting will consist of one to two blasts per day through the conclusion of blasting operations, which for both the 125th and Lex , and 125th and Park locations, is expected to last through 2027.
The attached flyers (in both English and Spanish) will be distributed to our SAS2 outreach lists, locations around the blasting zone, and any sensitive receptors (ie schools, medical or senior centers) in the vicinity.

Please refer to these flyers for any questions you may get or feel free to pass the inquiring party on to the SAS2 Outreach team.

East Harlem on the main stage — where it belongs. Always.

This past Wednesday, CB11M broke ground at Timbale Terrace alongside and many other East Harlem and NYC leaders.

Community Board 11 has played a pivotal role in shaping this project since day one — working to ensure it reflects the needs and priorities of East Harlem, from deep affordability to meaningful cultural investment and lasting community impact.

341 apartments. 100 percent affordable. Nearly one-third set aside for formerly homeless New Yorkers. And a permanent home for Casa Belongo that will be an incredible addition to East Harlem and help strengthen the northern Park Avenue corridor of the community tremendously.
