It took 3 years to build a pair in Queens after the MTA scheduled it for two including the elevator, which is still inoperable after a year. Good thing you noticed that they schedule in quarters, which I believe gives them an excuse to delay.<br /><br />http://www.timesledger.com/stories/2014/23/richhillada_tl_2014_06_06_q.html<br /><br />https://impunitycity.wordpress.com/2016/12/25/marios-sons-holiday-dick-moves/<br /><br />https://impunitycity.wordpress.com/2017/02/14/marios-son-to-mta-commuters-fuck-you/<br /><br />https://impunitycity.wordpress.com/2017/04/09/mta-re-lefferts-blvd-station-the-first-quarter-of-the-year-is-up/<br /><br />Fuck The MTA<br /><br />JQ LLChttps://impunitycity.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-66640567515556187022017-07-10T23:35:25.834-04:002017-07-10T23:35:25.834-04:00Entrances at Avenue A are long overdue and will be...Entrances at Avenue A are long overdue and will be wonderful. More people want to go east from the station anyway, and it's currently insanely crowded with only one entrance for each platform. No train for a year, but when it's done this will be a huge improvement. Lemonade from lemons, people!

The entrances will probably be built during the shutdown, although some portions of the excavation support might be installed before. There's a huge amount of utility work, too, in this area that's piggybacking.<br /><br />I am thrilled these staircases and elevators are going to exist. Back in 2003, I was working on a joint venture where I actually could talk to someone higher up in the NYCT's engineering dept. I frequently mentioned how (relatively) cheap it would be to add entrances at the east end of 1st Avenue...now they just have to get built.
