Dyckman Street Station made ADA accessible

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has embarked on an aggressive journey to make 95% of New York City’s 472 subway stations ADA accessible by 2050.

Mott MacDonald has worked with the MTA on numerous projects, including East Side Access, the Flushing Line Extension, and rehabilitation of the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel and the Harlem River Lift Bridge.

The Dyckman Street Station on the 1 line was the first of the stations to reach the “substantially complete milestone.” On July 20, Principal Project Manager Jeff Smith and Senior Project Manager Andrew Gennaro of Mott MacDonald were invited to attend the grand opening ceremony for the new elevator at Dyckman Street Station, at the border of the Inwood and Fort George neighborhoods of Manhattan. See video.
