A pedestrian tunnel also extends westward to Broadway, 1,000 feet (300 m) west of the actual station.-- Elaborate on pedestrian tunnel's description/purpose.
Two years later, a pedestrian tunnel opened, better connecting the station with the local neighborhood, whose access was hindered by the area's hilly topography.-- I think this can be combined with the earlier sentences about the elevators and ped tunnel. Add which neighborhood was better connected.

Preliminary work involved theclearing of a site in a vacant lot south of 191st Street on the west side of St. Nicholas Avenue for a
177-foot-deep (54Â m)shaft to accommodate four elevators and a steel emergency staircase from the surface to platform level. The four elevator wells were located in the four corners of the main shaft with the staircase located between them. The emergency staircase, along with those at the 168th Street and 181st Street stations, which were also mainly accessed by elevators, was used for the first time on March 23, 1914 after the elevators stopped working due to a problem at the Dyckman power station. The use of the staircase resulted in extreme congestion.

Kew Gardens 613, thanks for adding the update about the elevator operator lawsuit.
The source makes it sound like the August 4 ruling was an injunction, not a final decision (Ordered that respondent remains enjoined and restrained from removing, terminating, eliminating, replacing, reassigning NYC Transit Authority employees from presently operating the elevators
). I had seen it earlier but wasn't sure if an injunction was noteworthy enough to mention. â
