    "New York City's tallest subway station will soon have elevators…read more.. "The Smith-9th Street stop in Gowanus -- the tallest station in the city and one of the tallest in the world -- rises nearly 90 feet above ground. It lacks elevators and efficient escalators, making accessibility difficult for many New Yorkers, including people with disabilities, seniors and commuters carrying packages." "That's about to change. State Sen. Andrew Gounardes, who represents the area, said the station will get elevators as part of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's approved $68.4 billion capital plan from 2025-2029" If ever a train station needed a major facelift, it this station. Talk about not in ADA compliance, hardly any seating on the platform and decrepit conditions. But here's something's to consider while we wait for elevators: 1. Exercise: yes, taking my "beloved "( and that is laced with so much sarcasm) R train and climbing 6 flights of stairs does make my Apple Watch very happy. Imagine my steps count, heart rate, calories burned.. off the charts! Wait it gets better! 2. More exercise! Remember the verse in the song " Spinning Wheel" by 3 Dog Night: " What goes up, must come down..????" Yes, if you need to exit at the Smith-9th Street exit, there are 4 flights of steps to climb down. There are escalators.. uh uh.. but they're going up. 3. Decrepit conditions: when you are climbing down those stairs, not a pretty sight my friends. Smile and pretend you are on a beach.. 4. Andy Byford: Remember him? Ex MTA tmcommissioner ?? I sure do. In fact, I attended a conference he gave in one of the Bay Ridge schools. He had a lot of great ideas.. like why are there bus routes that don't serve communities the way they should, and oh yes, the renovation of Smith and 9th...that was six years ago. "Andy Byford left his role as New York City Transit President in January 2020 because a state-led reorganization of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority scaled back his duties, centralizing major projects and leaving him sidelined from core decision-making. He also cited a tense, intolerable working relationship with then-Governor Andrew Cuomo, noting he was frequently undermined, excluded from key operational meetings, and bypassed by the governor's office. " 5. Waiting game: how and why is it taking this long to perform a major overhaul to a station that serves roughly 2.9 million riders? Questions, plans, renovations.. More to come, in the meantime I know my exercise goals are reachable at this station.

    Typical MTA subway station with broken down escalators…read more Recently took the F train here to attend a whisky tasting event within walking distance. This station was renovated a few years ago? I couldn't tell. Still looked worn out. Nice city skyline view off the platform though.
