The current plan aims to have the subway system 95% accessible by 2055.

(Of the old US subway systems, MTA seems to be the most lackadaisical in actually making their system accessible.)

I love the ridiculous year end-dates on American infrastructure projects.

"Your grandkids might some day dream of having accessible subway stations" is such a civilizational failure that we've just silently accepted.
