The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) tells ELEVATOR WORLD Modern Elevator provided two new Americans with Disabilities (ADA)-compliant elevators unveiled to the public on December 12 at the Queensboro Plaza subway station near the east end of the Queensboro Bridge. The US$69-million project was made possible through funding from the Federal Transportation Administration. In addition to one elevator connecting the street and mezzanine levels and another connecting the mezzanine to both platforms, the project includes expansion of the mezzanine by approximately 2,100 ft2, a new street stairway and new ADA-compliant boarding areas with new platform edges. Nearly 100,000 daily riders will benefit from the more accessible station, NYC Transit President Demetrius Crichlow said.
