By: NY1 News
Subway riders on the Upper West Side now have easier access to the train.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority opened a new station entrance at 96th and Broadway for the 1,2, and 3 lines.
Renovations on the entrance started three years ago.
Straphangers now have direct access to either the downtown or uptown platforms.
The MTA says improvement projects are underway across the city, despite recent budget woes.
"We're also moving forward on the implementation of technology, trying to get next train signs into our stations like this. Trying to move forward on smart car projects and do everything in a way that's cost effective and saves the commuter money," said MTA Chairman & CEO Jay Walder.
The MTA says the remaining renovations at the 96th Street station, including an elevator and garden, will be completed in the fall.
