據(jù)《紐約市》近期報道，紐約市大都會運輸管理局（MTA）拖延已久的項目終于得到聯(lián)邦運輸管理局的批準(zhǔn)。該項目旨在為第68街亨特學(xué)院站的殘障人士提供出入站點的便利措施。MTA建議調(diào)整一臺進(jìn)出站使用的電梯的位置，那就不需要在紐約城市大學(xué)的建筑內(nèi)安裝電梯，而有信源稱，相比之下這才是“更艱巨的任務(wù)”。目前，街道電梯都設(shè)置在East 68th Street和Lexington Avenue的東北角，而不是東南角。然而此項變更，可能會進(jìn)一步推遲這一個已經(jīng)提出十多年的項目。

ELEVATOR CHANGES MAY FURTHER DELAY MTA PROJECT

NYC’s Metropolitan Transit Authority's (MTA) long-delayed plans to make the 68th Street Hunter College station accessible to subway riders with disabilities will have to be approved by the Federal Transit Administration, THE CITY recently reported. MTA has recommended shifting the location of a lift that would lead in and out of the station to avoid installing one inside a building in the City University of New York, what the source calls a "more difficult task." The street-level elevator is now set for the northeast (instead of the southeast) corner of East 68th Street and Lexington Avenue. However, the change could further delay a project that has been proposed for more than a decade.
