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.
The opening of the station and the tunnel resulted in the development of the surrounding area of Fort George, including the construction of apartment buildings.-- this can be elaborated further

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 (54 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.

The underground street was the only one of its kind in Manhattan. The tunnel was lined with glazed tile, lit for its entire length, and guarded at all times.[19] It had a stationary post where a policeman was always on duty.[42] Policemen were stationed at either end of the tunnel. The tunnel's grade from the steps at the Broadway entrance to the subway platform was one percent to allow water used in cleaning that collected around the walls to drain through a sewer to the subway. The difference between the two ends is 9.5 feet (2.9 m).-- Truflip99 ( talk) 21:30, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
