WHITE PLAINS – The full-scale improvement project at the White Plains Metro-North train station has been announced with work expected to continue through the end of 2020.
The work will include addition of an elevator at the main entrance for customers to reach the new side platform, including two ADA compliant stairs with radiant heat flooring for snow and ice control. Other ADA compliant features at the station will include railings, platform guardrails, signage and a new public address system.
Other upgrades will include refurbishment and functional upgrades to its main entrance, the Main Street entrance, the Hamilton Avenue entrance, and the Mott Street entrance.
Security cameras and speakers will be positioned throughout the station, enhancing customer safety. Hew platform canopies with wood ceilings will be installed with LED lighting and a heated stairway from the side platform.
There will be an expanded, glass-enclosed waiting area, new interior station wall panels, ceiling tiles and fixtures, a remodeled ticket office, an improved food vendor space and refurbished bathrooms.
Service at the White Plains station will continue throughout the duration of the three-year project. The renovation has been planned in three phases to minimize the disruption to travel for the 12,000 customers who board trains there daily. The station has the third highest ridership in the Metro-North system, second only to Stamford and Grand Central Terminal.
