Yes, I was thinking in that vein after I posted. I think the new norm, though, is elevators. How much of a ramp would be needed in terms of pitch and distance [at West Falmouth] to be ADA compliant?
Here's the background for my previous comment: I was at an LIRR station in Queens that was elevated about 40 feet above the street. It took three ramps of about 100 feet each, and two switchbacks to get up to the platform. Then, I learned the next station about a mile away was at ground level. Shoulda gone there in the first place!
