Clark Street station closure ‘not a done deal,’ says MTA official
There are three possible scenarios for fixing the ancient elevators at the Clark Street subway station, according to the MTA. New York City Transit Authority President Andy Byford laid out the possibilities on Monday night at a town hall meeting.
After an outcry from Heights residents about the lack of communication from NYCT about the upcoming station closure, the meeting was arranged by officials including Assemblymember Jo Anne Simon, State Sen. Brian Kavanagh, Councilmember Stephen Levin, U.S. Rep. Nydia Velázquez and Borough President Eric Adams.
The subway station that serves the 2 and 3 lines is one of the deepest underground in the city’s subway system, and the elevators are so old and have broken down so many times they ought to be in the Transit Museum, Byford told the crowd.
