Reply to comment by objectimpermanence in Anyone know what’s going on with the closing of the wide turnstiles on the PATH at WTC? by sutisuc

Adding on, 14th St station has only one passenger ingress/egress, which is actually part of private property. Hudson/Manhattan Railroad and then PATH have leased those stairs from the private owner since before 1950. It's old and impractical to make it ADA compliant.

14th St? Do you mean 9th St or Christopher St? From what I can remember about 14th St is that it seemed seemed to have “regular” sidewalk kiosks.

My personal opinion is that if the closures are related to anything other than mechanical issues with the turnstiles then this is a dirty and disrespectful way to treat disabled riders to catch fare beaters. Maybe there is something to be done before the 120 days are up? Media shaming perhaps?
