One of the things that makes installing elevators here so costly is that many stations require passengers to take two elevators (one between platform and mezzanine, then another between mezzanine and street). Other systems like DC's metro have elevators that go straight from the street to the platform with its own turnstile separate not necessarily near the fare booth or the other turnstiles. I wonder if such a system would work here given higher ridership and more crime.For example, both 103 St and 116 St on the 1 have mezzanines and would require 3 elevators each if made accessible in the same manner as other stations; however, there is probably enough room on both the platform and sidewalk above to install elevators that go directly from the street to the platform thus only requiring two elevators at each station. Or if such a solution is not feasible, then is it to prioritize a station like 110 St which has slightly lower ridership but no mezzanine so should be less costly? |
