Something is up. Not sure if this is in response to the recently announced suit against the T about the death of the stair user at JFK, but they have randomly started closing off deteriorated, but critical access routes.
This morning at JFK, users found the Columbia Ave main entrance fenced off as well as one of the two staircases from Sydney St. Mitch Fallon on Twitter: "Who at the @MBTA had the brilliant idea to put a gate on the only entrance to JFK/UMass from Columbia Road with no warning? https://t.co/M5cFYC4J6k" / Twitter
Over at Savin Hill, both Savin Hill Ave sidewalks over the tracks (and I-93) are also fenced off with no accessible routing (just signs pointed to an 18" curb).
