Description

The NYPD has arrested a 26-year-old Manhattan man for allegedly assaulting a teen on a bus last weekend and trying to remove his turban. Also, the annual Tompkins Square Dog Parade is taking place Saturday, with a few differences from previous years. Finally, the MTA’s goal to add elevators and ramps to 95% of its stations is decades away. In the meantime, accessibility continues to be a major issue for many commuters with disabilities. Sharon McLennon-Wier, the executive director of the Center for Independence of the Disabled of New York, discusses some of the changes she says must be made before the estimated 2055 timeline.
