WTC closes ADA elevator

The World Trade Center stop on the E will lose its elevator starting Friday due to construction. While no elevator means little or nothing to some riders, for others, like Michael Harris of the Disabled Riders Coalition, it's a major problem.

“It’s a very popular stop for tourists and for residents with disabilities who work in the downtown area,” Harris said.

The MTA has posted a listing of alternative routes to get to and from the World Trade Center area using ADA accessible stations.
