The Bay Ridge-95th Street station has newly installed elevators, improved ADA-compliant boarding areas, upgraded staircases, and modernized electrical systems. Construction, which commenced in 2023, was prompted by local advocacy for accessibility since 2018. The MTA managed to save time and money, avoiding four weekend shutdowns and cutting nearly a million dollars in expenses. Financial support from the Federal Transit Administration, linked to federal infrastructure legislation, facilitated these enhancements to ensure better community accessibility.
Thanks to effective project management we have been able to avoid four weekend shutdowns and save almost a million dollars in the process, said MTA chair and CEO, Janno Lieber.
