more wishy-washy with the L train fiasco:
MTA details 'disruptive' L train rehabilitation plan, but questions remain
More service will be added to 7, G and M lines but it's unclear what will happen to street-level plans that were drafted for a full L shutdown.

L train rehabilitation work will still be "disruptive," even as a full shutdown is avoided, the MTA said on Wednesday.
As the authority rehabilitates the Sandy-damaged Canarsie tunnel, it will be reducing L train service to 20-minute waits on weeknights and weekends — from Bedford Avenue through Manhattan — with reductions in service beginning as early as 8 p.m. on weeknights. Twenty-minute headways will kick in around 10 p.m. on weeknights and run through 5 a.m.
“We’ll be able to maintain service, but it will be a disruptive service on the L,” said MTA managing director Ronnie Hakim, who briefed reporters over the phone.
