Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) has responded to a barrage of injuries and criticism related to the gap between trains and platforms in numerous ways, but residents near at least one station remain unhappy Thursday.

New Hyde Park station is one of 10 the commuter rail listed as priority stations. Two-by-six wooden planks were installed Thursday to narrow the gap there. At some stations crews have moved platforms closer to tracks, and at others workers relocated the tracks nearer to the platform. Residents at these locations seem satisfied with the progress of the gap problem.

In Syosset, however, commuters who deal with gaps as large as 15 inches say they are angry with LIRR for being ignored. LIRR maintains the curved platform at Syosset station makes it difficult to organize a quick fix such as in New Hyde Park. Syosset travelers say with all the technology in the world, LIRR should be able to think of a way to fix and narrow the gap.
