The Metropolitan Transportation Authority included, as part of its 2015-2019 capital budget, US$45 million for the elevators, which will replace the unit on the east side of the 49th Street/Grand Concourse Station and add a new one on the west side. The elevators will make the station Americans with Disabilities Act compliant. Pending approval of the budget, the project is expected to start in 2016 and be complete in 2018.
