Are downward escalators pointless?

Posted by shiznit1987 on Mon Jul 14 10:05:17 2025

So Roosevelt Ave has recently finished it's renovation of the escalator bays between the West end of the E/F/M/R platforms and the 7. The thought occurred to me that instead of three escalator bays, why not save on maintenance and have two permanently upward escalators and a wider staircase for those going down. I can see this having a pair of advantages in that it will make evacuation much easier having wider stairs as well as less escalators requiring less maintenance.

Systemwide, do you find the idea of downward escalators pointless?
