The Town of Milton says it has tried for years to get the MBTA to fix a dilapidated staircase at Milton Station and has now filed a legal complaint

"That's great news, but the issue is that in order for those to be renovated, it's going to take many, many years," said Driscoll."Just some basic math is telling me that we're going to be well beyond 2023 before this staircase is repaired and reopened, and the town has repeatedly said that this is just not acceptable."

"It's outrageous. I understand that they want to make this accessible, but now it's inaccessible to everyone," said Linda Lewi. "You have to walk through this area, this parking lot, which is unlit at night, is not plowed, and so it's treacherous," Lewi said."It's incredibly dangerous at night for people, and it's been this way for years.""If necessary, the MBTA should seek any waivers regarding ADA compliance issues for the time being and accelerate the plan to reopen the staircase.
