Your subhead “Development Review Board approves preliminary plans for new Amtrak station, which will give Brattleboro the first level-boarding platform in Vermont” is incorrect. It should read “the second level-boarding platform.”
You board Amtrak in Rutland at train level (and have for many years).
The modern station has an ADA-compliant electric chair lift inside the terminal, the platform is under cover, and it even has a second backup, manual wheelchair lift. All thanks to Sen. Bernie Sanders.
My wife, a multiple sclerosis wheelchair patient, has easily used the Rutland station for years.
