What is on the space spot on that platform?

I think it'd have required extending that area of the platform further back, which likely would have been much more difficult as the entrance where the elevator is being added had to be fully rebuilt due to a new building on the street.

Even so, it would have made sense to bite the bullet and get it done. Where would it make sense for an elevator to the express platforms to go?

My thought would be to maybe put it at the corner of one of the staircases down to the express platform, that way it'd minimize extra tunneling of the express level

Here is the first of several posts on ADA accessibility from the 1990s. Enjoy. It shows how slowly we are going-it was the plan.

Here's an update on 59th now that they're taking down the plywood so (N) trains can run on the express tracks

I'm personally hoping the hole doesn't get patched up by Monday cause the photo ops would be awesome

Now why can't they just come up with a standardized spec for elevators for certain types of stations like "side platform elevated" and "side platform no mezzanine" etc etc and then just say I want X amount of these?

TBH. Just by looking at these pictures, it’d be cool if the subway had more natural light coming down to the platform.

If you read my name😉 DeKalb because of the hospital, they can do it from street to fare control , and fare control to platform

I’d imagine they would add it sooner than other stops given its higher ridership, but they just chose Neptune (a stop located in the middle of giant apartment complex) which is ranked at 410 in the system.

@Lance In addition to the Culver additions and Court Square, I found a mistake on the map. It says Aqueduct Racktrack. Also, 8th Avenue will be accessible Southbound with the addition of an elevator. The elevators at 62 are in service.

Lawsuits to look out for

  1. Station rehabs on the Flushing Line
  2. Station rehabs on the Jamaica Line

* No stations were chosen within the Upper West Side Group (103rd Street, 96th Street, 86th Street), from what I have heard, possibly due to the difficulty of construction, and also to serve the AMNH. Unless one of these three stations is made accessible, the 103rd Street station will not be two stops away from an ADA-accessible stop, breaking Byford's promise. 96th Street is shown in Blue as a station where "Accessible station or station where work is underway"

** Inexplicably, no stations were chosen within the Upper East Side Group (110th Street, 103rd Street, 96th Street, 86th Street); this was likely mistakenly left off the list. The uptown (6)  platform at 86th Street will become accessible. Because of this, the high ridership at the station, and because it is an express stop, my bet would be that this would be the stop selected from the group. Otherwise, Byford's goal of no two stations away from an ADA-accessible stop would not be met.

*** No station from the Fox Hills/Rosebank Group was chosen, and unless this is an error, the Clifton station will not be two stations away from an ADA-accessible stop.

MTA Has a Target List of Accessible Stations but Stalls Release
List shows that MTA recommends adding elevators or ramps at 49 stations across four boroughs and on the Staten Island Railway

Several disability-rights groups have sued the MTA in state and federal courts over issues ranging from poor maintenance of elevators to failing to add elevators during station renovations. PHOTO: MARK KAUZLARICH FOR THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
By Paul Berger
July 31, 2019 8:20 pm ET
New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority is sitting on a list of dozens of subway stations officials want to make wheelchair accessible, even as disability-rights advocates demand its release, according to an MTA official.

The holdup has come from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration, the official said. “It’s so frustrating,” said the official. “We’ve had this list finalized for months but we’ve not been allowed to release it.”

A review of the list by The Wall Street Journal shows that the MTA recommends adding elevators or ramps at 49 stations across four boroughs and on the Staten Island Railway.

The official said New York City is supposed to pick the 50th station, though city officials said Wednesday that the stations are solely determined by the MTA.
A spokesman for Mr. Cuomo said accessibility upgrades will be included in the MTA’s next five-year spending plan, which runs from 2020 to 2024. The state-controlled authority runs the city’s subway and buses, two commuter railroads and nine bridges and tunnels. Mr. Cuomo’s spokesman said this year’s state budget mandated that the spending plan be reviewed and audited before its release

“This process is currently under way and the MTA will make their list available at the appropriate time following the completion of the capital plan review,” the spokesman said.


“Despite what sources may say, this list won’t be final until its incorporation into the capital plan, which is not due for several months,” an MTA spokesman said.

About one-quarter of the MTA’s 472 subway stations are accessible. Several disability-rights groups have sued the MTA in state and federal courts over issues ranging from poor maintenance of elevators to failing to add elevators during station renovations.

In 2018, the authority’s head of subway and bus systems, Andy Byford, announced the aim of making 50 further stations accessible during the next five years. The goal was to place riders no more than two stops from an accessible station. MTA officials consulted advocates and considered factors such as proximity to senior centers and hospitals to decide which stations to target, Mr. Byford has said.

But subway officials missed their self-imposed deadline of releasing the list of 50 stations at the end of June 2019.

At a July 24 MTA board meeting in Manhattan, more than a dozen disability advocates addressed officials about the subway system’s lack of elevators. They noted that poor accessibility also burdens people with luggage and parents with strollers. And they brought along a life-size cutout of Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, to address some of their concerns directly to the governor.

Colin Wright, a senior advocacy associate at TransitCenter, said in an interview that advocates fear that by missing the June deadline, the MTA’s commitment to accessibility is wavering. “I think that the cardboard cutout is a really effective tactic to remind people who ultimately controls the subway system and who ultimately has the power to fix accessibility,“ said Mr. Wright, who leads a coalition of groups fighting for accessibility.

After the advocates spoke, Larry Schwartz, an MTA board member appointed by Mr. Cuomo, said he wants to accelerate elevator projects. Mr. Schwartz said that while the advocates were addressing board members, he had consulted the MTA’s managing director.Mr. Schwartz said he believes that some accessibility work could be incorporated into the MTA’s current five-year spending plan, which ends in 2019, using unspent funds from delayed projects.


Asked about the MTA’s 50-station list after the meeting, Mr. Byford said the authority is “running final checks” on it.

MTA Chairman Patrick Foye said the list is almost complete and would be released shortly.

Mr. Wright said Wednesday that he looks forward to seeing the list incorporated into the authority’s spending programs for New York City Transit, which operates the subway. “Before we have a firm commitment from New York City Transit to make the 50 stations a reality, nothing is guaranteed,” he said.

My suspicion about 86th Street (4)(5)(6) was right-this will be the Upper East Side Group stop.

96th Street (B)(C) will be for the UWS Group-the wrong symbol was put on the map.

Clifton will be in the Fox Hills/Rosebank Group.

Note the Van Sicklen note.
