I'm not claiming any expertise, just that Gov Center isn't the only station where you'd wish it had a quick-and-dirty "other end" and the pattern (From chatter on the Indigo & GLX) seems to be that those other ends aren't happening because they'd require 2-elevators' worth of accessibility.Disney Guy wrote:ADA does not require that every entrance have an elevatorjamesinclair wrote:And not opening the direct Blue Line entrance is a crime and the decision makers should be imprisonedThere would be no urge to open the Blue Line to street exit for passengers unless an elevator could be installed there for full accessibility's sake.
