Members of the Republican-controlled state Senate are backing a $1.9 billion plan to build a third track for the Long Island Rail Road in Nassau County.
Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan of Suffolk County announced Tuesday that Republican senators have agreed to public funding for a nearly 10-mile third track corridor from Floral Park to Hicksville, according to Newsday.
The move comes after opponents in those communities reached an agreement on quality-of-life issues with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs the LIRR.
