MTA will begin elevator replacement at Borough Hall
Some members of the courthouse, legal, banking and civil service communities around Court and Montague Streets, especially those who are disabled or use a cane, may soon be inconvenienced when traveling to and from work.
Starting on Monday, July 13, MTA New York City Transit will be starting a project to replace the existing elevators at the Borough Hall station on the 2, 3, 4 and 5 lines, which an agency press release said “have reached the end of their useful lifespan.”
At Court Street, one elevator travels between the Mezzanine, Brooklyn-Bound and Manhattan-bound levels of the 2 and 3 lines, which are also connected by a passageway to the 4 and 5 lines. The most unusual elevator, however, is the one that goes from the mezzanine level to the street.
