Posted by murray1575 on Thu Jan 31 22:26:29 2013, in response to Re: South Ferry-MTA urged to consider re-opening 'old' South Ferry subway station, posted by zuckie13 on Thu Jan 31 12:36:44 2013. I would agree that the old station was dangerous since there was only one stairway leading from the entrance to the platform in addition to the severe curvature which also required the use of high maintenance gap fillers. It's unfortunate that the presence of the other lines passing above it required the new station to be built to the depth that it was but the other lines were built at the beginning of the previous century so we can't blame the MTA for that. What the MTA is responsible for is the poor execution of the concept which allowed water to enter the station before it was even opened and of course the other problems such as escalators which didn't work much of the time even before Sandy hit. |
