Elevator Installation, Service Repairs On 86th Street D Train Still In Progress

The 86th Street and Bay Parkway D Train repairs have been ongoing for some time. As the work looks far from finished, residents are feeling frustrated that the busy intersection has become even more difficult to navigate.

“I hate it. It’s ugly and I have to push through people just to walk on the sidewalk. It’s dangerous,” said Eugene Akanov, a Bensonhurst resident who commutes to and from work from the 86th Street station.

Tell us, has the repair work inconvenienced you, or is this a means to and end for better D Train access?
