We have been talking for years about how badly Uptown needs ADA-compliant rapid transit. But since there has never been easy access to Uptown's trains, ever, in the 117 years since trains started running to Uptown, I'm okay with waiting a few more months. By the end of the year, there will be both escalator and elevator service for the first time at a station between Addison and Granville.<br /><br />I am not being cavalier. My mother was disabled and unable to go up even one stairstep for most of her life. I know how it is to have to deal with non-ADA-compliant facilities. I am THRILLED that the elderly and disabled will finally be able to get to the trains in their own community.Kate Uptownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08879015024297313797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-41452535927963519722017-04-08T16:56:26.288-05:002017-04-08T16:56:26.288-05:00It would be nice if they finished the platform tha...It would be nice if they finished the platform that is already in use with an working elevator and escalator. And then start the other platform. That would've been ideal for people with disabilities and the elderly. AND, parents with strollers and young children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
