Posted by Joe on Wed May 17 18:13:28 2017, in response to GWB Station images., posted by r17-6599 on Wed May 17 12:04:39 2017. The floor plans of the three levels are available through this page.--- The station is built on a slope downhill from Fort Washington Avenue to Broadway. Therefore, Level 1 is the not-yet-reopened underground MTA passageway from the A train's 175th Street station. Level 1 is also the Broadway entrance, leading immediately to two side-by-side elevators to Level 2 (if this leads to the retail arcade, not yet finished) and Level 3, where the elevators deposit the riders at the far east end of the bus loading platform. --- Level 2 comes in from Fort Washington Avenue and meets a wide flight of steps, with perhaps a ramp to the left. At the top of the nine steps are two escalators, two elevators, and two rest rooms. Apparently, there is a departure board there. Retail space will make up the rest of Level 2, but I understand there are arguments over rents and the type of stores. --- Level 3 shows a pair of elevators at the east end, 21 bus "gates" probably open to the winds off the Hudson, and an enclosed pavilion with chairs, restrooms, ticket windows, vending machines (probably only NJT), a departure board, and escalators and elevators down to Fort Washington Avenue and (further below) the subway. --- I am making these judgments from Joe Caronetti's excellent photos and the three floor plans on the above link. As I have not visited the station, corrections are welcome. --- Many thanks to J. Caronetti for excellent photos. Joe McMahon |
