On the Long Island Rail Road, stations at Forest Hills and Hollis will be made fully accessible, and will have platforms extended to allow for future capacity increases, while accessibility will be improved at Babylon, which will also receive platform and canopy replacments.

LIRR work will also see the Webster Avenue Bridge in Manhasset on the Port Washington Branch replaced, with reconstruction of the adjacent roadway, sidewalks, and retaining walls, new catch basins, and a new drainage system.

Floral Park is in desperate need of new platforms. I've never seen a station so dilapidated like that.

How about fast-tracking additional equipment?
I am tired of packed 8 car trains during rush hour that have a status of red or orange in the TrainTime app.
