When will 59th Street Columbus Circle Close?
Posted on June 23rd, 2008 by The SUBWAYblogger in Live Blogging On the Subway
Honestly, there’s about 20 square feet of the entire 59th Street station complex that’s NOT under construction.
Every time I have to get off there, it is impossible to miss the fact that there’s very little area not walled off, torn up, or fenced. It’s getting a little insane.
They may want to just shut it down till it is done. Why? Because one morning, we will litterally get off the train and have no where to go.
On top of that, they’ve started laying tile in lots of seperate areas without completing a section. So a lot of the areas do not meet up seamlessly. So effed up.

Glad someone else has noticed this. Was starting to think I was the only one.
ReplyI never seem to see or hear any work actually going on, either. I think you’re right, they should shut it down — but only if they started working on it round the clock, or at all, once it was closed!
And as if it weren’t enough of a screw-you to customers, now they’re dispatching employees to hassle people standing in the “no standing” part of the uptown 1 train platform. Which is a very large portion of the platform. Which is why people ignore the “no standing” signs — because they HAVE TO. I wrote a long kvetch about it on my blog just now…
