Derrick Tan Posted November 27, 2018 Share #553 Posted November 27, 2018 I checked every source on 145th Street station and only Wikipedia has a confirmed reopening date. Apparently, 145th Street is to reopen this Wednesday, the 28th. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/145th_Street_(IRT_Lenox_Avenue_Line) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrick Tan Posted November 29, 2018 Share #556 Posted November 29, 2018 First video is by Daniel Paucar, which is the first and only video of the reopened station for now. Second video is by JamaicaZ160, which is a video of the station's finishing touches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union Tpke Posted November 29, 2018 Share #557 Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) Apparently, 23rd Street has reopened. http://web.mta.info/nyct/service/StationInfo_23st/index.htm I got the message by email at 12:31 PM "Effective Thursday, Nov 29, 2018 F trains are now making stops at 23 St in both directions."

Eric B Posted November 30, 2018 Share #558 Posted November 30, 2018 Yes; I didn't even know about it until my second trip, when I was two stations away, and heard it on the radio! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrick Tan Posted November 30, 2018 Share #559 Posted November 30, 2018 I saw the reopened 145th Street station today. Apparently, the MTA decided to make the platforms narrower in multiple areas, which makes the station kinda hazardous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoHacksJustKhaks Posted December 1, 2018 Share #564 Posted December 1, 2018 The reopened 145 street station is certainly better than what it used to be, though I question the not fixing (or painting over) certain parts of the ceilings above where the train passes through (same with the CPW stations). It looks ugly where it's crumbled and I presume it'll get worse with time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget the dog mural. I'm more disturbed that there's already alot of rust on the tiles and the floors especially when the station just reopened Thursday. The same thing with the 86th Street Station along Central Park West. That also has alot of rust on both the tiles and floors and it looks like it's already going to fall apart.

I don’t even think the ceiling was painted... This one was the definition of putting lipstick on a pig (dog?). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was there goal, then they failed miserably. The cosmetic ESI work on this station looks desperate at best. Certain stations that have ESI (4th Av. stations) can get away with little tile or floor work as intended. But I’d like to see the at least go a bit further in fixing them for some stops like these.

Around the Horn Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share #569 Posted December 2, 2018 I'm just trying to understand why they went away from the comprehensive approach of the 4th Avenue stations. Those actually look like they had 6 months of work done to them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were the first stations to get the ESI treatment, that was before the allocated money basically ran out. 2.The stations weren't in bad condition to begin with, most of the tile work and floors weren't rotting whatsoever (the worse I'd call it is gloomy). The general design of them are pretty good for what ESI is supposed to do and that's why it worked well.

That explains why a 5-car station on an IRT line and 3 stations in Brooklyn ,that really didn't need the renovation considering it wasn't falling apart, came out better than Central Park West.* *It's not that I don't like how CPW came out, it's just the 4th Avenue stations and 145th Street came out better in my opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
