MTA did use those "waxed tiles" in the entire station rehab (including the platforms on the IND level), and the entire complex was an MTA job, not PATH.Also, the doors in the area used to be labeled as MTA facilities (Station scrubber room, etc), though now those signs have been removed, and (IIRC, upon asking a while ago) they are now storage rooms. Plus, If the entire area was PATH, then PA would have been mentioned regarding the responsibility of the disputed closed passage to 7th Ave, but I have only heard of it being between the MTA and the retail property (now the mall). Here is a picture from about the same point as the other one above, but looking in the opposite direction (at the false wall sealing the passage).  The PATH begins past there, probably where it's fare vending machines are. Again, note the tile frieze to the far right. This is apart of the MTA 34th St. station rehab design, not PATH. The n/s passage did have access to the subway, through another passage between the glass walls, that was given over to the newsstand, which filled it with their own storage, with two apparently separate newstands on both ends. That led right to the stairways either to the 6th Ave. or Broadway lines. Of course, the other end of the passage leads to the 34th St. fare control area, so it does have "access" top the subway. The reason the sign is placed there; think of someone coming from either PATH or the mall. Once they pass the entrance to the mall they are now heading for the other fare control area of the MTA, so that place was as good as any other to welcome people to the MTA. |
