Thanks for the updates, Broadway Station is one the busiest Stations and this upgrade will definitely help to solve some congestion issues.

Glass panels on the west side of the platform. They make a huge difference.

Disembarking and boarding this morning went fairly smoothly. I think it will be a few days/weeks before people are used to exiting on both sides, but it will be an over-all improvement.
