T to Dyre Avenue Posted October 8, 2012 Share #4 Posted October 8, 2012 My God, it looks so spacious. It will be a major improvement over the old entrance and passageways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted October 8, 2012 Share #7 Posted October 8, 2012 Ever thought of workers going in/out of the station? lol... Yeah and?? They do have powerwashers no?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1447 Posted October 8, 2012 Share #8 Posted October 8, 2012 lol... Yeah and?? They do have powerwashers no?? I'm sure they clean the area, but its not like its going to be 100% clean. Of course, knowing how old this system is, and nearby sewage pipes, Expect this new entry to look just like South Ferry Station someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks kind of like some of the tile work was done in stages though but unnecessarily since there is no passenger traffic there. I wouldn't be too sure about how clean they are either. I'm really amazed at how dirty some of these stations are already and they've been rehabbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted October 8, 2012 Share #10 Posted October 8, 2012 Lol, for someone who advocates taking the express buses, you are overreacting about an entrance that isn't used for passengers yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen I worked in construction for a few years, and this job looks cheap. That's my point. Saying it will look like South Ferry, someday... You mean more like pretty soon...

mark1447 Posted October 8, 2012 Share #16 Posted October 8, 2012 Doing construction cheap only comes back to bite you in the rear... Well this System is pretty old... Once its fixed, it all goes to the bad end again. Sewage in this system is one of the major issues around. It will cost a lot of $$$$ to fix that up.

NYCRailfan523 Posted October 9, 2012 Share #18 Posted October 9, 2012 I always expect this would become dirty someday. The best thing is that they opened it. Keeping it closed will just define a waste of money the MTA has worked for. My God, it looks so spacious. It will be a major improvement over the old entrance and passageways. Just like what you said. It also has an elevator - making it ADA-accessible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
