How many old Upper East Side buildings will the MTA have to shore up to prevent collapses during Second Avenue subway construction? Fifty-one, according to the agency's survey. The MTA is making the repairs rather than waiting for landlords to bring their buildings up to code, and 12 buildings have already been patched up. Cost estimates "have not yet been developed," but don't be surprised if the subway fare gets jacked up to $26 next year. [NYP]
