Spend billions tunneling under the lake, then find out you can't actually put in an exit because of the CVC.
Great plan.

Yea, that's how Moses did it, and it worked great for him. To be fair, in later years, the NY legislature wised up to it, and didn't let him do it, but he did have access to quite a sum of federal funds for building his projects.
Plus, I don't see an alternative that is better. The alternative, which is what they are doing now, is standing around doing nothing but "community engagement meetings" (a waste of time & money!) for two years, with two more years of so-called "planning," and the project is already 100% over budget. Might as well get started building.
Also, in what world does the CVC block an exit? Most of the CVC height limits are quite high, a basic station isn't going to mess with that. I never said don't plan the thing, I said make it happen quickly. It doesn't take 4 years to plan a transit system, that is ridiculous.
