Posted by murray1575 on Wed Jan 30 20:52:25 2008, in response to Budget Concerns Threaten To Derail Fulton Transit Hub, posted by Russ on Mon Jan 28 20:24:18 2008. I am not in the least surprised. A few years ago, the MTA decided to replace the escalator at the Valley Stream LIRR station which was more often than not out of service forcing a long climb up a narrow stairway to the platform. The work took ten months to complete. Ten months to complete one escalator? Now the MTA is rebuilding the station which was just rebuilt in the early 1990's but was allowed to deteriorate since the MTA didn't bother to maintain it. The original station building which was built by the PRR in 1933 and is now little used since the advent of ticket machines was recently demolished. I wonder how long its replacement will take to build and what it will look like ten years after it opens. I hate to be pessimistic but this is SOP for the MTA. |
