Scarsdale Metro Station Made Accessible by Second Elevator Project

The Scarsdale Metro-North Station in New York has been made fully accessible with the opening of a second elevator, in an enclosed tower, that serves the Grand Central-bound platform, Patch reports. Other project upgrades include an ADA-compliant sidewalk from the newly installed elevator at street level and a new walkway connecting the elevator platform level landing to the station platform and overpass. As part of the improvement project, the overpass was raised 7 in. to provide greater vertical clearance for Metro-North work trains and was enhanced with new customer amenities. Scarsdale is the second busiest Metro-North station in Westchester County, after White Plains, with more than 2,500 daily boardings.
