N6 Limited Posted August 14, 2019 Share #110 Posted August 14, 2019 Are there cases where ramps would be cheaper? ie. One elevator to the elevated mezz, then ramps to each platform? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d imagine you could do that in the Rockaways given the large platforms and little passengers, but in other areas the ramp would take up too much platform space. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted August 14, 2019 Share #113 Posted August 14, 2019 42 minutes ago, N6 Limited said: The Ramp could be flanked onto the side of the platform no? That depends. ADA-compliant ramps require plenty of space, which is one of the reasons why so many accessible stations (around the world) use elevators. The accessible ones with ramps are often low-use, close to the ground, or in complexes. (Park Place falls into the first, Rockaway Parkway falls into the second, and Grand Central falls into the third. The last one is especially significant, as the 42nd Street is currently inaccessible strictly because of those curves at Times Square.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spypenguin Posted September 13, 2019 Share #114 Posted September 13, 2019 On 7/31/2019 at 9:35 PM, Union Tpke said: Norwood Avenue — East New York Group 1 Crescent St might be a better choice to become ADA-accessible. It connects with the B13 bus which goes to Euclid Av and Myrtle-Wyckoff: both of which are already ADA-accessible. Crescent St also had more than 51% additional ridership than Norwood Av in 2018. The elevators at Crescent would help when the is cut back from Jamaica to Crescent since the shuttle buses do not go to Norwood. Stations from Broadway Junction to Woodhaven Blvd would still be 2 or less stations away from an ADA-accessible station if plans were to change. However, customers from Cleveland St and Norwood Av would have to travel farther to reach an ADA-accessible station if plans ever changed (Cypress Hills would be closer to an ADA-accessible station). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the update! 8 Avenue on the is becoming accessible in both directions. You didn't include the Manhattan-bound and platform at Court Square. You also missed 7 Avenue on the .

CenSin Posted October 6, 2019 Share #118 Posted October 6, 2019 I was moving 5 boxes of pumpkins by subway from Trader Joe’s at Union Square () to Canal Street (). The lack of elevators and the frequency of out-of-service elevators made the return trip very difficult. Took the to 14 Street–Union Square and haul the hand truck up the stairs because that platform has no elevator. Got the hand truck up to street level via the escalator. Picked up my pumpkins at Trader Joe’s and headed back to the station. Took the elevator down to the mezzanine and then another elevator down to the uptown platform. Took the to 34 Street–Herald Square and then went up the elevator to the mezzanine level. Went down the escalator to the downtown platform and took the to Broadway–Lafayette Street. At Broadway–Lafayette Street, I had planned on taking the elevator directly up to the downtown platform. As luck would have it, that elevator was out of service. So I had to take the elevator to the uptown platform instead. From the uptown platform, I then took the elevator back down to the uptown platform. And from there, I took the elevator up to the downtown platform. Took the to Canal Street and then took the elevator to the street level. There was a long line of people waiting to use it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really dislike the Vignelli-style maps. The extra dots for each route adds too much visual clutter. The current MTA map isn’t the best at presenting the information either, but I can quickly scan for the wheelchair symbol next to the station names to see whether they’re accessible. This one from 2015 is much easier to scan as the non-accessible stations have been completely stripped off the map: https://subwayrecord.wordpress.com/2015/03/26/the-mtas-accessibility-gap/ Unfortunately, the map is much harder to edit, from my experience. Perhaps the map being used on The Subway Weekender might be easier to make alterations to seeing as it comes out weekly.

jekaanne Posted February 12, 2020 Share #124 Posted February 12, 2020 Here's a Google My Map of the accessible, partially accessible, and inaccessible stations, those in progress, and those planned for the 2020-2024 capital plan: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1MB1F-HQgDhGeNTr9L7KvvG_AEkmYC86H&usp=sharing I have also blogged about how they count the stations. NYC has the only transit system that counts transfers as multiple stations. This inflates the percent of accessible stations and distorts their estimates for the remaining subway stations. They also make erroneous claims about how many elevators the next 70 stations will need. AB has said "at least 200, maybe closer to 250," but it will realistically be 150 based on their current average of 2.5 elevators per station, even when counting transfer stations only once. https://opencuny.org/jmurray/2019/02/18/even-worse-than-reported-the-nyc-subway-is-only-21-wheelchair-accessible/ I'm involved in the Rise and Resist Elevator Action Group https://www.riseandresist.org/elevator-action-group and always interested in connecting with other advocates interested in making the system more accessible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
