The MTA has announced that protective screen doors are coming to platforms at three subway stations as part of a new pilot program. Previously, the agency determined the barriers were too costly and logistically challenging for most subway stations.
Speaking on NY1, Lieber said the agency would begin by installing the protective platform doors at the Times Square 7 train, the Third Avenue L train and Sutphin Boulevard-Archer Avenue E train stop at the JFK AirTrain connection. The R train platform, where Go, 40, was shoved to her death, was not included in the pilot.
“This pilot program is an important first step toward making our subway system a more resilient and safe place for commuting New Yorkers," Levine said. "It will not only help stop future tragedies like the Michelle Go murder, but also prevent other incidents like people falling on the tracks, suicide attempts and track fires, which are some of the main causes of subway delays."
“Paris installed platform doors on the entirety of their Lines 1 and 4—all the stations at the same time," he said. "But three stations is better than no stations. And if the pilot is effective, I am hopeful it would mean rapid progress in installing doors throughout other parts of the system."
