Federal funding keeps some MTA elevator projects on track

NEW YORK (PIX11) -- Elevators can make or break the commute for some New Yorkers. The pause in congestion pricing has put some accessibility projects on hold.

The MTA held a groundbreaking on Monday in Brooklyn at Classon Avenue on the G line because federal money will keep some plans on track.

On the station stairs with her cane, Dawn had a message for the MTA and elected leaders.

“All those staircases, it’s too much, too much to bear. Not only this station, a lot more stations,” she said.

The Classon Avenue accessibility and station improvements will be funded by $57 million in federal funds. Both platforms will be fully accessible from the street.
