Hakeem Jeffries joins MTA in breaking ground on Brooklyn subway station accessibility upgrades

House Minority Leader and Brooklyn Congressman Hakeem Jeffries was back in his home district Monday morning to help ceremonially break ground on a federally-funded accessibility project on the G line.

Jeffries joined MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber on Aug. 5 for a ceremony marking the start of accessibility upgrades at the Classon Avenue station in Clinton Hill. It is one of 13 stations that will be fully renovated and made ADA-accessible through an $850 million program, of which nearly $500 million is covered through federal funding — including $360 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act.
