To remedy the gap situation, the LIRR has installed platform gap lighting, camera surveillance systems, and new platform sections shifted from the current location. The LIRR has also added platform conductors to monitor train boarding, and is instructing crews to announce the gap at the station and to assist passengers. Further improvements, including changing railroad operation standards and the viable use of retractable gap fillers (such as those used in a few New York City Subway stations) are being examined. The railroad has also retained a consultant to review train operations to suggest further changes.
