Modern Elevator Providing Three Elevators at Key Brooklyn MTA Station

Modern Elevator, which has a location in Carlstadt, New Jersey, is providing three new elevators at the Classon Avenue Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) subway station in Brooklyn, NY, the NYC MTA tells ELEVATOR WORLD. The work, for which ground was broken on August 5, is part of a US$850 million program largely covered by federal funds that will see 13 MTA stations made fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, outlets including amNewYork reported. The Classon Avenue station is on the G line, which Brooklyn Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, who attended the groundbreaking, observed is "an incredibly important subway line for the Clinton Hill, Fort Greene and Bedford-Stuyvesant communities." MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber said the project is part of what the MTA calls its "largest design-build bundle of accessibility upgrades to date."
