McCabe touts Adopt-A-Subway idea
Candidate wants businesses to pay for station cleaning
A City Council candidate has an idea on how to make subway stations less grungy and more user-friendly: have business owners adopt stations.
Liam McCabe, a Republican running for the seat in the 43rd Council District (Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Bensonhurst) said his “Adopt-A-Station” idea is based on the “Adopt-A-Highway” program that has seen great success over the years.
Under Adopt-A-Highway, organizations or individuals agree to maintain sections of roadways and in exchange a sign is placed at the location listing the name of the organization or person.
