"Every day, New Yorkers hike the stairs up this station like they're climbing Mount Everest, struggling to catch the train on time."
"With elevators coming to the Smith-9th Street station, that's finally going to change."
"Climbing the tallest station in the system shouldn't be an endurance test. I commend the MTA for making accessibility a priority in the Capital Plan."
"The MTA's approved $68.4 billion capital plan budgets to add elevators at over 60 subway stations."
The Smith-9th Street subway station in Gowanus, Brooklyn, is set to receive elevators, alleviating the strenuous 90-foot climb for F and G train riders. This initiative is part of the MTA's capital plan from 2025-29. The installation aims to enhance accessibility for all riders, especially those with disabilities or traveling with strollers. Funding for the upgrades will come from a $68.4 billion budget, which includes plans to install elevators at over 60 subway stations. Enhanced accessibility is vital for improving commuter experiences at challenging stations like Smith-9th.
