PUBLIC HEARINGS ON CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS The Metropolitan Transportation Authority, on behalf of the New York City Transit Authority (MTA) and its subsidiaries, the MTA Long Island Rail Road, MTA Metro-North Railroad, MTA Construction & Development, and MTA Bus Company (collectively, the "MTA"), will hold a public hearing to solicit input on proposals to use MTA federal grant funds for federal fiscal year 2025. The hearing will be held in a hybrid format with in-person participation, virtual participation via Zoom, and conference call; a live webcast of the meeting is available on the MTA 2025 Capital Projects public hearing website. The MTA receives funding through federal grants under the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation, sections 5307, 5309, 5310, 5337, 5339, and 5340 of Title 49, United States Code (the "Code"), and Title 49, section 5300 et seq., of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act (the Surface Transportation Act and other Federal appropriations). The Governor of New York, local officials, and operators of state public transportation systems have designated the MTA as the recipient of these grants. The funds will be used for the capital projects listed below, which are described in detail in the MTA Program of Projects. The MTA Program of Projects is available for review athttps://new.mta.info/transparency/public-hearingsor by calling the numbers below. MTA solicits comments from private transportation providers. Capital projects that improve transportation system infrastructure in accordance with this program will be located on the MTA network or on state or local property. Property acquisitions or relocations will be consistent with applicable laws and regulations. The projects to be discussed at the hearings are included in the already approved Capital Programs for the 2015-2019, 2020-2024, and 2025-2029 periods. The capital projects are expected to be approved by the Metropolitan Planning Organizations serving the Greater New York Region and are consistent with the State Implementation Plan (SIP) as required by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. The completed projects are not expected to have any significant adverse environmental impacts. In the event that the FTA prepares a formal environmental impact statement for any of the proposed projects, the MTA will issue a special notice in which such statement will be made available to the general public. All legal requirements pertaining to senior citizens and persons with disabilities will be satisfied. It is expected that the difference between the cost of the projects and the amount of the Federal grant will be covered by funds provided from one or more of the following sources: State, local sources, agency (such as MTA Bridges and Tunnels or MTA), non-Federal share loans, toll revenues under Federal law (23 U.S.C. 120(i)); or from property sales and program income. For federal fiscal year 2024, the MTA received $914.9 million in 5307.1 billion, $5337 in State of Good Repair funds, and $29.8 million in 5339 funds for bus fleet and bus infrastructure maintenance. Federal FY 2025 matching funds are not yet available. For most funding categories, the federal match must generally be matched by a 20 percent local match.

Ilya Kolmanovsky on the brain, stress, and intuition
Ilya Kolmanovsky on the brain, stress, and intuition In October, an interesting meeting with Ilya Kolmanovsky took place in Manhattan. He was born into a family of psychologists, holds a PhD in biology, graduated from Moscow State University, and is a popularizer of science, now living in London. Some listeners have listened to his podcast, "The Naked Mole Rat." His lectures and podcasts are listened to by thousands of people worldwide, and now New Yorkers had the chance to hear him in person. Marina Lagunova
If it weren't for Lilia, I would have lost my wife and children.
I don't really believe in psychics, but when things reached a dead end, I was willing to try anything. Lilia immediately said she saw the pain in our home. We worked on my inner state, my fears, and my resentments. She helped me change not only the situation, but also myself. My wife noticed the changes and began to trust me again. Now it's like we're living everything all over again, with love and respect. Thank you, Lilia, you're not just a clairvoyant—you save families.

I fell to my knees in pain. My husband had left, saying he no longer loved me. I didn't know how to move on. I prayed, asking for a sign, and found Lilia. She immediately said: this wasn't just a breakup, but an intervention. She explained everything, told me everything. She performed a ritual, provided protection, and helped me recover. Twelve days later, he knocked on the door. He stood there, looked me in the eyes, begged for forgiveness... He said it was as if someone was holding him. Lilia, thank you for listening to me. You saved not only my marriage—you saved my soul. Her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Lilia Pavlovna, a person with a big heart and amazing understanding.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to Lilia Pavlovna, a person with a big heart and amazing understanding. When my husband left me for another woman, it was a real blow. I didn't know what to do or how to move on. At that moment, I was advised to contact Lilia, and I haven't regretted it. She helped me understand the reasons behind what was happening and gave me wise advice that literally opened my eyes. After talking with her, I felt relief, calm, and the strength to fight for my happiness. Over time, the situation changed—my husband returned, our relationship improved, and our home became warm and peaceful again. Thank you, Lilia Pavlovna, for helping people not give up and find a way out when it seems all is lost. I'll leave my contact information for anyone who really needs help (+380638055486 for WhatsApp and Viber, +19297133433 for regular calls).
