If there was a loose tactile strip that was a tripping hazard, or the escalator was broken, or a light was burned out, or someone defaced a sign with graffiti someone would handle it. Don't see how this is different.
--> The sign between tracks 3 & 4 still tell people to go to Haymarket to get to the Airport. To date, MBTA employees have been notified on four occasions.
--> Despite the word of an MBTA employee, there are no signs at GovCen telling patrons that BC cars do not go past Park Street. All maps except the new maps at GovCen show the B train terminating at GovCen.
--> A sign at Haymarket still says that trains to B.C. and Riverside are available, as if any tourist has any idea what "B.C." means.
--> On 29-SEP-16, user=DivergingRoute suggested that I write the Access Advisory Committee of the MBTA regarding the handicapped sign error. I did. I was assigned a case number. The problem still exists.
--> "COPLEY & WEST" What idiot thought people would know what that meant. Probably the same people that dreamed up "PARK ST. & NORTH", which I assumed meant North Station.
chrisf wrote:On the plus side, the "Green Line, to all trains" sign at the top of the stairs from the commuter rail platform at Forest Hills was covered up some time in the past few months.There are three sign errors in this photograph. Parts of the photo are labeled, A, B, C.
Part A: The elevator says that the elevator leads to all green line trains. So I called an MBTA employee over and said, "Does this elevator go to all green line trains?" He said, "Yes". So I asked, "So if I want to take the green line to Lechmere, this is the elevator I should use?". "Well, no. That elevator leads to all trains, the B, C, D, and E". Unlike the sign at Forest Hills, this sign was incorrect the day it was installed.
Part B: These are secret stairs. Anyone walking to the south (to the right in this photograph) on the center platform will not see these stairs unless they are explicitly looking for them. There are no signs facing the oncoming pedestrians that these are the only stairs to westbound green line. I've stood here about an hour before a RedSox game and about 40% of the patrons in baseball attire walk right past this sign and wind up at track 4.
Part C: The sign for "ELEVATOR ->" faces the inside. Not only that, it points to the Lechmeme elevator when the primary green line elevator is 10m in the other direction.
