For each diversion, they are pretty specific about exactly what is being worked on. If they can put it in a press release, I don't know why they can't put it on a sign. I agree that “We are performing XXX work to make sure that subways continue to operate safely along the X line.” isn't very illuminating.

If it was color coordinated and then you have something like the __ running local on the __ lines (being different colored lines, like the 4 and 1 or something) then what color would you use? Could get confusing. Quick thought on the color coordination you mentioned.
