Despite all of their complaints about Second Avenue Subway construction, Upper East Siders will ultimately benefit greatly from the project, but the same cannot be said of residents in Sunnyside, Queens, where the above-ground East Side Access construction has made the quality of life "horrible." The work in Sunnyside will shorten commutes for people living in Long Island and further parts of Queens, but for now the neighborhood suffers through work at all hours of the day and noise that exceeds the MTA's own limit by 19 times. Work will not be finished until 2019. [Crain's; previously. Photo via MTA Flickr]
