MTA to rehab 14 more stations under renovation program

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced last week the addition of 14 more stations to rehabilitate under New York City Transit's (NYCT) Station Re-NEW-Vation Program.
The stations in Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx will undergo repairs and cleaning. MTA plans to renew 50 stations by year's end; 37 stations already have been completed.
The most recently completed renovation of 121st Street Station involved installing new LED fixtures, repairing concrete tripping hazards, cleaning emergency lighting, remediating water damage and repainting station surfaces.
"Customers told us that they want cleaner, more inviting station environments, and we listened. These 14 additional stations will fulfill our pledge to [renovate] 50 stations by the end of 2023, as we leverage planned outages at stations to bring visible, tangible improvements to the customer experience," said NYCT President Richard Davey in a press release.
Launched last summer in the Bronx, the program calls for deep cleaning processes, renovations and state-of-good-repair work to spur more ridership and improve rider satisfaction.
