New York Gov. Kathy Hochul yesterday announced the completion of a project that transformed the MTA Metro-North Railroad Port Jervis Station in Port Jervis, New York.
The top-to-bottom transformation at the West of Hudson terminus station included the construction of a one-car length high-level platform, a concrete ramp leading from the parking lot to the platform and a new sidewalk, according to a Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) press release.
Improvements were also made to the existing parking lot to allow easier access onto the platform. The platform canopy was remodeled with a modern wooden ceiling and with sleek station signage. Other upgrades include new benches with USB ports, new LCD kiosk and security cameras to enhance safety at the station.
Additionally, a new glass-enclosed passenger shelter was built on the platform, and includes artwork commissioned by MTA Arts and Design, and inspired by Port Jervis history.
"Upgrading our stations like Port Jervis will allow us to continue our comeback from the pandemic and to stay economically competitive in the long term," Hochul said.
