(George Rizer/Globe Staff) |
The construction of three new elevators has made Arlington Station on the Green Line accessible to disabled riders for the first time in its 90-year history.
The elevators are being unveiled today as a part of a larger modernization project, which includes electronic message boards, surveillance cameras, large neighborhood maps on the walls, new fare collection equipment, and the first public restrooms on the Green Line.
The Arlington stop is the first Green Line station between Park Street and Kenmore Square with elevator access.
