Yes, but ADA compliance has the unintended consequence of keeping a good number of entrances closed that otherwise could be of use to the majority of people even if the entrances themselves were unmanned. They were closed in the days before tiny cameras could be installed cheaply to monitor stations.It should go back to the original reason why the station entrances were closed in most of those instances, which was crime. It would be nice to be able to install ADA, but until there is funding that allows the MTA to install ADA at every station some compromise needs to be done. (Of course, at the time the system was originally built, the thoughts of the disabled were not nearly as well thought of as they are required to be today). |
