What will happen to nyc in 2017

New York City has experienced 7. Superstorm Sandy loosed or foot floods on much of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Staten Island, killing 43 people and inundating more than 88, buildings.

In a climate-changed world, the effects of storm surge on New York may remain about the same. In other words, global warming seems to redirect some of the largest hurricanes eastward. The study is the first to compare data from three sources: models of storm surge in New York City; probabilistic projections of sea-level rise; and advanced climate models that include high-resolution hurricane simulations.

The study also investigates how hurricane flooding will be affected by the possible collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. However, the numbers skyrocketed to in January this year—remember the absolutely miserable two days where almost every line was affected by rail, signal or electrical problems?

Between those major incidents and high-profile disasters like the collapse of the ceiling at Borough Hall, it can be hard for the average subway rider to feel like service is getting better, even with the modest improvements the MTA has pulled off. But rather than focusing on the past year, transit advocates are looking towards the future, specifically the Fast Forward plan recently introduced by NYCT president Andy Byford. But in order for that ambitious plan to actually be effective, it must be embraced quickly.

When and how that will happen is less clear. Congestion pricing is the most agreed-upon solution to net the billions of dollars the MTA needs to do everything from upgrading the ancient signals to improving accessibility to reforming the way the agency spends its money. Other ideas, like value capture, have also been floated as possibilities. But questions remain about the political will that exists when it comes to funding and starting the ambitious modernization plan.

But most importantly, create all of those memories with the people you care about the most. Because this event is for you. To embrace your inner hero or root for the villain. To geek out as a family.
