Escalator repair update for El Cerrito del Norte Station

We apologize for the delay in returning the escalator at the El Cerrito del Norte station back to service. We realize just how important a working escalator is to you.

We had to put the escalator out of service to repair a failure in the main brake attachment to the motor shaft that caused the need for a new shaft. The shaft is being made and should be delivered on Monday, October 25. We hope to complete installation by Wednesday, October 27. We recognize the inconvenience this has been, and thank you for your patience.
