ACCORDING TO JIM / UNDAH OVAH GAME
Picture
“Under/Over” is a phrase from the world of sports betting, whereby folks wager on whether the final score will be over or under a fixed number.
​
Legendary NY sports talk radio host Mike Francesa has long included a segment where he and his listeners share their thoughts on the “undah/ovah” (as he pronounces it) of upcoming sporting events. 
​
In that spirit, we are introducing our own version of the Undah/Ovah game.
I am asking you, the public, to predict just how much you think longstanding capital projects will be delayed. I have railed many times about the incessant delays that seem to beset even the simplest infrastructure projects.  It is not much of an exaggeration to say that if someone in the DDC sneezes, a project in Staten Island is pushed back an additional six months. 
 
So, welcome to the Mike Francesa “Undah/Ovah” game…Staten Island style. ​
See below for a listing and some details about some the most egregious capital projects.
​
​​​Please take a look and vote by choosing the undah or the ovah.
