made by outside consultants have helped inflate its construction costs to some of the highest in the world.
“[S]ome tend to dwell on the costs of our big mega-expansion projects — even, lately, some projects we’re not even finished planning or, even, that we’re not responsible for building,” Torres-Springer said, during a broader defense of MTA spending and contracting practices and its $55 billion construction budget.
Jamie Torres-Springer, then a top official at an urban planning firm, speaks at a 2017 conference in Midtown. He subsequently became the head of the city’s Department of Design and Construction and then was tapped by MTA chairman Janno Lieber to succeed him as the head of the transit authority’s construction arm.
“We are not involved with the design of the Penn Expansion project. It is underway, it’s a project of Amtrak and New Jersey Transit,” Lieber said.
