MORE TRANSIT

HASSLES AHEAD AT

ISSUE #1366

OUR 211th ISSUE IN 2024

JUDITH BERDY

TIME TO AVOID THE LEXINGTON AVENUE
ENTRANCE TO THE 63/LEX STATION

THE ESCALATOR ENTRANCE

ON THE NORTHWEST SIDE OF LEXINGTON AVENUE
IS CLOSED.
THE ELEVATOR ENTRANCE AROUND THE CORNER IS OPEN.
THE STAIRCASE FROM THE STREET TO THE MEZZANINE ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER IS OPEN

ONE DOWN ESCALATOR 

FROM THE MEZZANINE IS STILL WORKING,  BUT 
THE NEXT ONE IS NOT RUNNING (50 STEPS DOWN)

BE FOREWARNED

MORE CHANGES IN FEBRUARY

AND NOW THE “ULTIMATE NEWS”

YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE LONG ESCALATOR TO THE LOWER (QUEENS/UPOWN) PLATFORM
AND THEN WALK UP THE STAIRS TO THE (DOWNTOWN/BROOKLYN) LEVEL PLATFORM

IN SIMPLE WORDS USE ONLY THE 
THIRD AVENUE ENTRANCE AND EXIT
FOR THE 63/LEX STATION

NONE OF THESE IMPROVEMENTS 
AFFECT THE THIRD AVENUE AREAS 
OF THE STATION

The MTA has plenty signage to navigate riders thru this project.  My advise is STAY AWAY and use the Third Avenue entrances and exits.

Happy New Year 2025 MTA!!!
