   Probably not going to happen.  A station at 41st and 10th was originally   
   set to be built but Bloomberg axed it saying the city couldn't afford   
   it.  He said that they would, however, carve out the space and finish it   
   in the future but later axed that too as unaffordable.  What burnt me   
   most, though, is that at the time Christine Quinn, speaker of the   
   council, whose district included Hell's Kitchen said, as far as I know,   
   absolutely nothing about those decisions.  Part of the reason I was   
   definitely not going going to vote for her in the mayoral primary.
