I've been waiting for over a year for an update from MTA regarding Newkirk Plaza in support to beautifying the station house.

I wanted to know if I get a response today when we will receive an update so we can allocate capital funding to improve that corridor and if the project remains stagnant, will MTA commit to investing capital funds in FY twenty six to beautify the station house or allow DOT to oversee the site?
