Posted this morning about a man being hit by a subway at 96th Street yesterday — the fifth such occurrence on the UWS in the past five weeks. If it seems as though more people are being hit by trains these days, it’s not your imagination. 2011 saw a 15% increase in the number of [...]

In what’s becoming an all-too-often occurrence of late, a man was struck by a subway on the Upper West Side yesterday morning. This is fifth time a person has been hit by a subway on the Upper West Side in the past five weeks: 2/29: Two people struck within hours of each other at 72nd [...]

I’ve been traveling since last week and am catching up on news, so you may have heard about this already. A 63-year-old man was struck and killed by a downtown 2 train at the 72nd Street subway station early Sunday morning.

Just a quick reminder that tonight is the final night of FASTRACK maintenance service on the A/C/E subway lines. If you plan to take any of those trains (specifically the A & C) to or from the UWS tonight between 10 pm and 5 am, click here for full details on station closings and reroutings.

The MTA continues their FASTRACK maintenance program this week. Previously, B and D trains were affected. This time around it’s the A, C, and E (although the latter isn’t UWS specific). If you ride those lines, be aware there are major service changes over the next four nights.
