7 Train Beach
Neighborhood 7 train station construction is already making an impact: a bright yellow temporary platform has been built over the Manhattan bound local tracks at the 46th, 40th, and 33rd St. stations.
The MTA built these sweeping yellow landscapes to ease crowding for commuters displaced by the partial closure and reconstruction of the 52nd St stop. That station had topped the list of worst stations in the entire subway system. In addition to fixing its atrocious stairs and platforms, the 52nd St. construction will upgrade “the customer experience with new windscreens, artwork and painting”.
