Part of the MUNI Metro Escalator Rehabilitation Project, MUNI will be replacing 17 escalators and 11 elevators in the MUNI Metro system, many of which have been in operation since the 70s. Additional lifts will be added to Powell and Castro stations. The replacement of MUNI's escalators has been going on since 2014, while the replacement of elevators is set to begin in Spring 2017. According to SFMTA, unlike the old, decrepit elevators, these new ones are squipped with "state of the art technology," improving MUNI Metro service for seniors, disabled, and strollers. The new escalators will include new lighting, energy-efficiency, and will allow crews to troubleshoot an issue more easily, compared to the old escalators. At the four underground stations the MUNI Metro shares with BART - Embarcadero, Montgomery, Powell and Civic Center - BART operates all elevators and escalators leading to street level. MUNI is responsible for access to the MUNI Metro platforms. For more details, go to sfmta.com. |
