The MTA has upgraded or replaced elevators and escalators at four subway stations in Manhattan and Brooklyn, the transit agency said Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Riders will see improved access at the following stations, the MTA said in a press release:<\/p>\n
The 14th Street-Union Square station in Manhattan, where crews replaced a street-to-mezzanine elevator that serves the L, N, Q, R and W lines
\nThe DeKalb Avenue B, Q and R train station in Brooklyn, where one street-to-mezzanine elevator and two mezzanine-to-platform elevators were put into service
\nThe 145th Street A, B, C and D train station in Manhattan, where one escalator serving the mezzanine to the B and D train platform was replaced
\nThe Lexington Avenue-63rd Street station in Manhattan, where three mezzanine and platform escalators were put into service<\/p>\n
\u201cMTA\u2019s accessibility agenda involves more than just building brand new,\u201d MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber said in a statement. \u201cIt\u2019s equally important to replace older, existing elevators before they break down and leave customers stranded, and thanks to Governor Hochul we now have the money to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
