The existing steel panels are from the original station construction and have stains, rust, and peeling paint.

  • Total project cost is $2.4M

  • Fiscal constraint is maintained ($1.89M SFY 2024-25 NYSDOT State Rail Capital (SRC) Public Transit Assistance Program + $0.513M SFY 2024-25 NYSDOT State Rail Capital (SRC) Public Transit Assistance Program)
