Here's an interesting issue. If the Transit Authority starts to install such barriers on the schedule that the TA is using for ADA access, then it might be a while before all stations are up-graded. It would could then seem that non-upgraded stations might be called "un-safe". Now if someone were to fall on the tracks of one of those "un-safe" stations, the TA could be sued for "failing to provide barriers". One current example is that the TA is being sued about not providing elevators at a station (Parkchester) for not having ADA features - even though providing such features were not planned for.Just a thought.
