video(s) VIDEO UPDATE: ADA Accessibility at Kingsbridge Rd IND

[Concourse Express]

First off, Happy 2013 to all my fellow NYCTF'ers!

To start off the new year, here's a video I shot last Sunday showing the ADA work done to date at Kingsbridge Rd IND:

(Also, here's the accompanying blog post with some more info.)

 

ENJOY!

that station is looking really nice, i wonder when they will get around to fixing up 205 Street

I see that they are making great progress.

 

BTW, is this part of a Concourse Line rehab project, if I'm right?

I don't think there is enough demand to fix 205th.

 

Nice video... like the commentary.

As much as I'd love to see Norwood - 205th rehabbed, I'm not holding my breath. Nothing major is scheduled long-term, so nothing but regular touch-ups (e.g. minor paint jobs and/or cleaning here and there) for now...

 

I see that they are making great progress.

This is actually independent of the Concourse Line Component Repair project (which was scaled back; 170 and 155 were dropped from the program); Kingsbridge Rd IND is one of the MTA's 100 ADA "key" stations. FYI, Bedford Park IND is also an ADA key station, so don't be surprised if work begins there within the next few years (perhaps part of the next Capital Plan - 2015 to 2019?).

 

I don't think there is enough demand to fix 205th.

 

Nice video... like the commentary.

 

 

Thanks for the compliments!

Nice coverage! Haven't been on Kingsbridge Road for a long time, good to see the station.
