Pols to go extra mile on subway disabled ordeal

SUBWAY TRAVEL is a daily struggle for people who use wheelchairs — and now it’s also going to be a temporary problem for a dozen politicians.

To call attention to the difficulty in navigating the subway with a wheelchair, the elected officials — Assembly and City Council members and city Controller Scott Stringer — are taking five stair-free subway trips this week.

That means using only the 117 stations that are accessible to people who cannot use stairs. The pols will document their rides at #ElevateMTA and #AccessDenied.

Assemblyman Robert Carroll (D-Brooklyn) he’ll have to “walk about a mile south to Church Ave. F and G stop — that’s the only accessible station in my district.”

“I’ll just keep going back and forth to Coney Island,” said Assemblywoman Pamela Harris (DBrooklyn), “because that’s all I can do.”

The inaugural stair-free ride started with a Manhattan trip on the No. 5 line from Bowling Green to Grand Central. But there was a snag, courtesy of the MTA: An elevator at Grand Central was out of order due to maintenance, according to the MTA.
