An array of accessibility upgrades at the NYC Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s (MTA) Metropolitan Avenue and Lorimer Street stations in Brooklyn, NY, including six new elevators — three at each station — mark a milestone: completion of the Construction & Development department’s first design-build American with Disabilities Act (ADA) package, MTA announced on April 1. The work was fully funded by a federal grant. The Authority tells ELEVATOR WORLD the elevators were provided by subcontractors E-J Electric Installation Co. and Modern Elevator. The elevators include new fire alarm systems, smoke/heat detectors and security cameras. Each elevator is also equipped with an emergency two-way communication system including audio and visual. The mezzanine area around the elevators has been regraded to create ADA-accessible pathways.
