据《纽约市》近期报道,纽约市大都会运输管理局(MTA)拖延已久的项目终于得到联邦运输管理局的批准。该项目旨在为第68街亨特学院站的残障人士提供出入站点的便利措施。MTA建议调整一台进出站使用的电梯的位置,那就不需要在纽约城市大学的建筑内安装电梯,而有信源称,相比之下这才是“更艰巨的任务”。目前,街道电梯都设置在East 68th Street和Lexington Avenue的东北角,而不是东南角。然而此项变更,可能会进一步推迟这一个已经提出十多年的项目。
ELEVATOR CHANGES MAY FURTHER DELAY MTA PROJECT
NYC’s Metropolitan Transit Authority's (MTA) long-delayed plans to make the 68th Street Hunter College station accessible to subway riders with disabilities will have to be approved by the Federal Transit Administration, THE CITY recently reported. MTA has recommended shifting the location of a lift that would lead in and out of the station to avoid installing one inside a building in the City University of New York, what the source calls a "more difficult task." The street-level elevator is now set for the northeast (instead of the southeast) corner of East 68th Street and Lexington Avenue. However, the change could further delay a project that has been proposed for more than a decade.
