Given the age of the escalator and the existing elevator for the 7, I doubt they would tear those down just to expand the sidewalk (or the lot). They do need to add an elevator down to the G, though. It's crazy (but also not a surprise) they didn't do that when they built the Citi Tower or the renovation to the 7 station at Court Square. The other issue with the G is that, once you get on it, there are only 2 stops that are accessible, at Greenpoint and at the end of the line at Church St.
