A data engineer has urged the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to permanently close the 3rd Avenue subway stop on the L train, citing operational inefficiencies and declining ridership. The proposal highlights concerns over safety, maintenance costs, and the stop’s limited use compared to other stations along the line. Officials are now weighing whether the closure would improve service reliability or further isolate the neighborhood. The debate comes amid broader discussions about optimizing subway infrastructure in the city.
