Closure dates for former/reopened exits
Article presently states:

The exits to Powers and Hope Streets were closed in the 1990s, blocked by metal street grates, and used as emergency exits.

The linked source doesn't mention this and all evidence we have (photos of the mezzanine when it was closed) doesn't support that these exits were open in the 90s. Photos of the old signage (see also this this SAS article) in the mezzanine lead us to believe that the Grand Street exit was last open in the 1990s but doesn't show any mention of Hope/Powers being open at that time. It is likely those exits were actually closed prior to the closure of the southern half of the mezzanine and that the Grand Street exit was the last to be open prior to that closure.

I will attempt to update the article to remove any certain statement for which we don't have evidence. -newkai t-c 15:18, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
