Original caption

As Public Advocate Jumaame Williams said yesterday, “the original J/Z isn’t doing so well.” That’s why we’re working with Governor Kathy Hochul — using congestion pricing funds to renovate Chambers Street and partnering with the MTA to tackle extreme heat in our subway stations. Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall hit an average of 96 degrees last summer. We’re exploring a first-of-its-kind system that could cool subway platforms in the summer and use that heat to warm city buildings in the winter. A better commute, in every season.
