For example, MTA diagrams submitted to the feds show the 116th Street station will still end up being around 1,100 feet long — stretching from 115th Street to 120th Street. And the FTA signed off on changes to the stations in August 2020, according to documents quietly posted on the MTA’s website.
On the article's included drawing, the distance between the two stations appeared to be roughly the same as the length of the stations themselves.
I'd like to read a description of what it means to "halve" the size of the mezzanine. A mezzanine the length of the whole train enables many entry points to the station, which shortens walks and increases ridership. It also helps spread passengers between different cars on the trains.
