Union Tpke Posted January 29, 2018 Share #1 Posted January 29, 2018 I am compiling a list of closed entrances in the subway. If anyone here knows any that I missed please respond, or add it to the list. Thanks. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenSin Posted January 30, 2018 Share #2 Posted January 30, 2018 I’m most interested in what’s at Canal Street. There is a lot of crowding at Centre Street, especially since there is only 1 entrance to the . The platform is not that wide, and I feel it was a mistake to abandon the other platform. Instead of distributing passengers, now they are crammed onto one platform mixed in with people going to/from the lower level (). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel The Cool Posted January 30, 2018 Share #3 Posted January 30, 2018 For the 110th Street part, there was an underpass between the northbound and southbound platform. You can easily see the seal off part of it when you're at the 110th Street southbound platform near the last few cars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR503 Posted January 30, 2018 Share #4 Posted January 30, 2018 Nice project!!! Is there any way to add ridership #s for all the stations to the chart? It'd be useful for contextualization.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGA Link N Train Posted January 30, 2018 Share #8 Posted January 30, 2018 65 Street on the Queens Boulevard line [late night] does not have an entrance to 63 St. I've been around there enough times to know. Unless there is something that I missed. Well, I'm going to have to revisit this station someday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4 via Mosholu Posted January 31, 2018 Share #11 Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Hey @Union Tpke, there are perhaps a few things that you'd need to make note of while putting together your list of closed entrances: 1. For 182-183rd Streets on the train, I think there was a second entrance at 183rd Street. 2. If I remember correctly, the entrance at Mosholu Parkway South reopened around 2009 when the downtown platform of Mosholu Parkway reopened after renovation, not 05 as you wrote. (At the time that the report for reopening entrances from the New York City Riders Council was issued in November of 2001, Mosholu Parkway itself did not begin to be renovated until October 30th, 2006.) 3. There was an original station house for Eastern Parkway on Fulton Street for the train besides the entrance from Conway Street, including a closed station house on 113th Street for 111th Street on the train as well. 4. The South Portland entrance from Fulton Street on the reopened in July of 2005 under community pressure. I'm not particularly sure about all of these entrances I mentioned, but I think they are accurate.

Eric B Posted January 31, 2018 Share #13 Posted January 31, 2018 SW entrance of the Broadway station. Boarded up for the construction of the new apts. but never reopened for some reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porter Posted January 31, 2018 Share #14 Posted January 31, 2018 Assuming that we aren't counting the WTC, since all of those entrances were either destroyed or have since reopened (the yet unopened Cortlandt Street Station doesn't count), I can name four permanently closed and demolished entrances from the Fulton Street Station alone: 1) [DEMOLISHED] entrance on the southeast corner of Broadway & John streets (adjacent to 182 Broadway) 2) [DEMOLISHED] entrance on the northeast corner of Broadway & Fulton streets (inside 222 Broadway) 3) [PERMANENTLY CLOSED] entrance on the northwest corner of Broadway & Dey streets (inside 195 Broadway) 4) [DEMOLISHED] entrance on the southeast corner of Broadway & Fulton streets (adjacent to what is now the Fulton Center) These removals make sense, as the Fulton Center and Dey Street head house render them redundant. The FC/WTC/WFC trio has more entrances than the streets of Manhattan know what to do with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P3F Posted January 31, 2018 Share #16 Posted January 31, 2018 Basically in a mirrored layout to Avenue U, Avenue M has an emergency exit-only stair on the north side of the southbound platform. I don't know if Avenue J has one as well. Look at it on Google Street View. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R42Ztrain4795 Posted February 9, 2018 Share #25 Posted February 9, 2018 I didn't know Woodhaven Blvd (IND) had a closed entrance! 75th St-Elderts Lane has a removed entrance too at Eldert Lane, as well as 104th Street at 102nd Street/Jamaica Avenue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
