Re: 2nd Ave Subway Setback

I think shallow stations provide the opportunity to do better than elevators for ADA compliance: Ramps from street level

I'm thinking of stations like 125th/Lenox on the 2/3. Wide sidewalks nearby, and a very shallow station. When I calculated this a few years ago, I found that to comply with ADA slope, the ramp would need to be about 2/3 of a block long.

Less long-term maintenance complexity, easier to deal with a surge of people, and no enclosed space to turn in to a defacto bathroom.
