Mid-American Provides Two ADA Elevators For NYC MTA Station

The NYC Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) tells ELEVATOR WORLD that Mid-American Elevator provided two new elevators for the 14th Street 123 subway station in Manhattan, NYC. Unveiled on November 3, the accessibility upgrades are part of a larger 14th Street Complex Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) megaproject that includes US$247 million in federal funding and will ultimately add nine elevators. One of the new elevators brings passengers from street level to the mezzanine, and the other connects the mezzanine to the uptown platform. An elevator connecting the mezzanine to the downtown platform is expected to open soon. In addition to the elevators, improvements include an enlarged mezzanine and new concession stand, new lighting and tiles, repaired concrete and refinished platforms that feature ADA boarding areas.
