Currently, most swing gates open both ways. The new swing gates will only open to allow people to exit in an emergency.
The enhanced gates will be magnetically secured and an alarm will sound when they are improperly opened. The alarm also triggers a flashing light in the station manager kiosk. Gates will be designed to close automatically.
Fare barriers will also be raised to a height of 4.5 feet.
