Newsday’s gap maveness Jennifer Maloney reports that 60% of the LIRR problem gaps have been fixed.
Since the LIRR announced in February that it would target 32 platforms at 22 stations with gaps greater than 10 inches, it has been working to reduce the dangerous spaces by moving tracks, adjusting platforms and keeping certain train doors closed, Kenny said.
The stations include Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn and Hunterspoint Avenue in Queens -- which had gaps as wide as 15 1/2 inches and 12 inches, respectively -- and others across Long Island such as Port Jefferson, which had gaps as wide as 14 1/2 inches.
Meanwhile, the Public Transportation Safety Board is expected to release their comprehensive review of the gap problem on April 18.
And, remember, Time Square has its own gap problem as well.
