MTA chair and CEO Janno Lieber stated, "We're picking up right where we left off before the new year in the mission to make the subway system fully accessible. This is no easy task because our infrastructure is over 100 years old." This emphasizes the ongoing commitment to improve accessibility in an aging system.
Quemuel Arroyo, MTA's chief accessibility officer, highlighted that the renovations ensure easier access for all users, stating that the enhancements transform the station to meet modern accessibility standards.
With the opening of the Westchester Square station, which serves nearly 4,000 daily riders, it's a significant milestone for New York’s public transit, showcasing a commitment to inclusivity across the city.
The station features new elevators, refurbished stairways, improved lighting, and upgraded security measures like closed-circuit TVs, all aimed at creating a safer and more user-friendly experience.
