  • Long Island Rail Road Commuters Council Chair's Report October 2
    Long Island Rail Road Commuters Council Chair’s Report October 2, 2014 On Tuesday of this week the LIRR announced that it will construct a temporary extension to an existing pedestrian bridge at Port Washington Station over a four-day period between Thursday, October 16 and Sunday, October 19. Originally, the LIRR had been working to complete the project in September. We have been discussing this issue with the LIRR since it closed one of the two pedestrian bridges serving the station in April, cutting off an important access to the station’s north parking lot. Construction will not affect train service, but the Haven Avenue parking lot will be closed on Saturday and Sunday to allow work to proceed. Approximately 10 to 12 parking spaces will be closed on Thursday and Friday for the work, and the structure will result in the loss of six parking spaces over the longer term. The LIRR’s plan for a permanent solution is part of its proposed East Side Access readiness work at the station, which will extend two tracks to allow for additional rush hour service and construct new pedestrian bridges appropriate to the expanded tracks. The MTA has also announced that the Long Island Rail Road will be adding ADA accessibility to the Mets-Willets Point Station by including an elevator in its renovation of the station. We have discussed this issue in the past, and have noted that the travel path to Citi Field and the National Tennis Center is extremely difficult for LIRR riders who need accessible stations.
