Text of lawsuit by Gateway project vs. US government for failure to fund the cross-Hudson tunnel.
The key issue: The US government suspended funding for this vital infrastructure project because that project used DBE contracting, but the DBE contracting was *required* by the US DOT's own rules!

NYC: We're going to build a $7.7 billion extension through one of the densest neighborhoods in the country, in literal Manhattan, along a route with overcrowded buses. Is it worth it?
Chicago: We're going to build $5.75 billion extension through one of the least dense parts of the city lol.

The western extension of the Second Avenue Subway has a $7.7-billion price tag that calls into question the very logic of building it at all — but advocates and researchers say the train is a good idea that could cost a lot less with some minor alterations.
