MTA Has Short Memories
To The Editor:

Many years ago (maybe 30) the MTA (formerly known as the NYC Transit Authority) had a problem which was similar to the one the LIRR is having with gaps at some of their stations. The gap occurred at the Brooklyn Bridge station on the IRT Line (as it was known then) which curved, leaving a big space between the platform and the train because the train was straight and the station was not. The solution was to have a movable plate which automatically closed the space, making it safe for passengers. Either the MTA has short memories or the solution has become buried in their files.

While I am picking on the MTA, what happened to the 2nd Avenue subway which was started a while back? Second Avenue was dug up, starting at 125th Street for about 10 or 15 blocks and then filled in. Is the same thing going to happen now? Sidney J Rubin Forest Hills
