Gramere station currently has poor platform edges, stairwells and signage.
Grasmere Station on the Staten Island Railway will be rehabilitated soon. There is a temporary station platform being erected north of the station on Clove Road that will serve as Grasmere station while the old platform and station house are removed and rebuilt. Once this renovation is complete, the station will be equipped with turnstiles and Metrocard vending machines for passengers entering and exiting the station. It will also have tactile warning strips and new platform edges. Mark, a transit worker on the NYC subway, commented that “It really sickens me that while riders on the SIR get a free ride almost everywhere south of Tompkinsville station; the outer boroughs have to pay for the subway. Even though the SIR is a single rail line, it should be treated like a bus, where you have to go from point A to point B”. The station rehabilitation will not be finished until April 2013.
