How many escalators?
How many escalators are there? "a bank of two escalators and one staircase ..., a single escalator, and one ADA-accessible elevator..." Are there three (one bank + one single), or a single escalator? If it's the former, I suggest replacing "a single" with "a third". pburka (talk) 16:29, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Renovation
It sucks there is no press coverage on any of this. They actually have redone the mezzanine to allow it to be completely in fare control (the 2 western 3rd Avenue exits are closed) to enable platform access via the Third Av esalators. (The one up escalator near Lex is used for exiting the platform). Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 22:26, 10 May 2024 (UTC)


 * @Kew Gardens 613, I noticed this too. I figured that the fare control reconfiguration was because the escalators at the western end of the station are currently closed, leaving the escalator at Third Avenue as the only "down" escalator in the entire station. It is strange that no reliable sources have mentioned this. Epicgenius (talk) 22:36, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
