The NYC Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) tells ELEVATOR WORLD the elevator subcontractor for three new elevators each at the 14th Street 6th and 7th Avenue stations in Manhattan, NYC, was Chicagoland’s Mid-American Elevator. Mid-American is working with prime contractor Citnalta Construction/Forte Construction Joint Venture on the projects. MTA unveiled the new units at 6th Avenue on August 22, with installation at 7th Avenue underway. The elevators at 6th Avenue will take subway riders from the street to the station’s mezzanine, from the mezzanine to the uptown F and M train platform and from the mezzanine to the L train platform. The elevators at both stations were funded in both the MTA’s current and previous capital plans. MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber said the authority is determined to make all 472 stations “universally accessible.”
