The Port Authority will always do what's right, when it's court imposed

The long-delayed construction of an elevator at the Grove St. PATH Station is set to finally begin. The elevator will be located at the south side of the entrance at Columbus and Marin Blvd.

It only took a lawsuit to get the Port Authority to do the right thing. This lawsuit was filed back in 2005 and in 2011 a judge agreed that the Grove St. station must abide by the Americans with Disabilities Act and here we are ten years later and the Port Authority will now spend (are you sitting down?) $4 million of our dollars for an elevator. The Port Authority thinks that what these things cost and since nobody in Trenton is ever going to hold their feet to the fire elevators now cost $4 million dollars.

With the new elevator, which we're guessing will be out of order at least as often at PATH escalators, will ensure all PATH stops have an elevator (Harrison is building a new station).

We wonder if any of the City Panning Coco Puffs made their way to the PA this morning...
