When Mayor Bill de Blasio releases his sustainability plan for New York City on Wednesday, he will ask the 
to consider running a subway south along Utica Avenue in Brooklyn, according to a portion of recent draft acquired by Capital. Utica Avenue “is one of the densest areas in the city not directly served by the subway," according to the plan, which notes the corridor is served "by the second busiest bus route in the City, the B46/B46 LTD." It's one of several -related proposals contained in de Blasio's OneNYC, a plan whose pages are marked with the motto, "The Plan for One New York: A Strong and Just Future." De Blasio is formally releasing the plan on Wednesday, according to sources. OneNYC is de Blasio's first legislatively mandated update of former mayor Michael Bloomberg's PlaNYC, which is supposed to provide a framework for mitigating the impacts of population growth and a changing climate on New York City's infrastructure. OneNYC also calls for the to study creating a transfer at the Livonia Ave/Junius St stations between the 
and the 
lines and thereby improve subway access for Canarsie and East New York residents. It advocates for faster installation of modern subway signaling, which can increase subway capacity by allowing trains to travel more closely together, and it calls for a strategy to "upgrade the Long Island Railroad (LIRR) Atlantic Branch to subway-like service after the completion of East Side Access—including adoption of the subway fare." That, according to the plan, "would provide a new transit option to residents of Crown Heights, East New York, and Jamaica." What the plan does not include, at least in its late-draft version, is any identification of new funds for the 's five-year capital plan, which has a $32 billion price tag and a roughly $15 billion hole. "As the city’s riders, toll payers, and taxpayers already support the bulk of the ’s operations, we will continue to look to every level of government to support this critical network of infrastructure that is so essential to the economic strength of the nation and the downstate New York region," the draft notes. It also says the city will "work closely with the to identify significant savings and improve operational coordination in areas of common interest, such as bus rapid transit, other bus services, and Access-a-Ride. Any savings we can achieve together can be leveraged to create new capital support for the .” Traditionally, the city has contributed $100 million per year to the 's capital plan. The mayor's preliminary capital budget allocates just $40 million a year, though the city insists that's just a "placeholder" identical to the one in the last mayor's preliminary capital plan. The , meanwhile, has asked the city to increase its traditional $100 million a year contribution to $125 million. A recent Independent Budget Office report noted that had the city's capital contributions kept pace with inflation, it would now be more than $360 million a year. The mayor's office declined comment. "These are all worthy additions to the system, but obviously they’re not putting some of their money where their rhetoric is about about the need for good transit," said Gene Russianoff, staff attorney at the Straphangers Campaign. “The and the city of New York are aligned on the importance of mass transit to keep the city thriving, " said spokesman Adam Lisberg, in an email. "Improvements like Communications-Based Train Control and Bus Rapid Transit offer the potential to carry more customers and bring more robust service throughout New York. We look forward to working with the city as we seek full funding for our 2015-19 Capital Program.”
