TIMES SQUARE, New York City -- The MTA on Monday unveiled a new accessible subway entrance in Times Square.
The entrance right off Broadway Plaza has a 15-foot wide staircase, and once inside, a 4,600-square-foot mosaic, new signage, lighting and more artwork as you head toward the Shuttle train. The original artwork was done by Nick Cave."That means riders who are deaf have a means to communicate with us, and riders who don't have the ability to speak can also engage with us," MTA Chief Accessibility Officer Quemuel Arroyo said.
Officials say the work, done during the pandemic, is critical to the recovery and revival of restaurants, bars, nightclubs and theaters in the area.
