86th Street elevators ready for liftoff
The 86th Street R station in Bay Ridge will become ADA accessible this week.
The MTA announced Monday that it is adding nine elevators across four stations to expand accessibility during the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
According to the MTA, the 86th Street station has been upgraded with two ADA compliant elevators, which will travel from the street to the mezzanine and from the mezzanine to the platform level, which required a complete overhaul of the station’s communications systems, including LAN and CCTV.
