TheBroadway Junction station is aNew York City Subwaystation complex shared by the elevatedBMT Canarsie Line andBMT Jamaica Line, and the undergroundIND Fulton Street Line. It was also served by trains of theFulton Street Elevated until that line closed in 1956. It is located roughly at the intersection of Broadway,Fulton Street and Van Sinderen Avenue at the border of theBedford–Stuyvesant,Bushwick andEast New York neighborhoods ofBrooklyn. The complex is served by theA,J, andL trains at all times; theC train except at night; and theZ train during rush hours in the peak direction.

The station is adjacent to theEast New York Yard and a complex track junction between the tracks leading to the yard, the Canarsie Line, and the Jamaica Line. The structure of the elevated station still contains the ironwork for the trackways used by the old Fulton Elevated. The station has a single exit and entrance through afare control building located at the eastern end of the Fulton Street Line station. There is evidence of closed exits from the Jamaica Line platforms. There is also aNew York City Police Department (NYPD) transit precinct at the station.

The station opened asManhattan Junction as part of theBMT Lexington Avenue Line in 1885. In 1900, an elevated connection was made with the Fulton Street Elevated, resulting in a change in service patterns. Lexington Avenue and Fulton Street trains were through-routed, going around theEast New York Loop, with service to Cypress Hills requiring a transfer. The station started to be used by service to Canarsie in 1906. In 1919, the Manhattan Junction station was replaced by the current station which was then known asEastern Parkway. The modern-day Canarsie Line platforms, known asBroadway Junction, opened in 1928 when that line was connected to the 14th Street–Eastern District Line. The Independent Subway System's Fulton Street Line was extended toBroadway–East New York in 1946, and the three stations were combined as one station complex on July 1, 1948. The names of the stations in the complex were conformed to Broadway Junction in 2003.

Although Broadway Junction ranked 166th in the system for passenger entries in 2016, with 3,085,401 total entries,[3] it is Brooklyn's third-busiest station in terms of passenger activity. It sees 100,000 passengers per day as of 2017[update], the vast majority of whom use it to make transfers. In 2017, theNew York City Economic Development Corporation started studying options to rezone the surrounding area as a transit hub.[4]

History

[edit]

Looking west at the complex's head house and Callahan-Kelly Playground, located above the IND station

The Broadway Junction station complex is shared by the elevated BMT Canarsie and BMT Jamaica Lines and the underground IND Fulton Street Line. Throughout the history of the area, this has been a key junction point between various different rail lines. What is now Broadway Junction sits atop the historicalJamaica Pass, the junction of the modernBroadway,Fulton Street, andJamaica Avenue. The Pass is where these roads passed through the valleys of the area, which are part of theterminal moraine created by theWisconsin glaciation.[5][6]

BMT complex

[edit]

The first rail service in the area was theAtlantic Branch of theLong Island Rail Road (LIRR) atEast New York station. The line opened as theBrooklyn and Jamaica Railroad in 1836, under lease to the LIRR, but did not include a station at East New York until early 1843.[7] The Brooklyn and Rockaway Beach Railroad (the predecessor to theBMT Canarsie Line) began service in the area in 1865.[8]: 13  The nameManhattan Junction orManhattan Beach Junction was applied to the station on what is now the Jamaica Line when it opened in 1885;[9][10] the area had been known asManhattan Beach Crossing since before then,[11][12] due to the crossing of the LIRR'sManhattan Beach Division. A station on theFulton Street Elevated railroad at Sackman Street opened on July 4, 1889, when the line was extended toAtlantic Avenue.[13]

Passageway above the Jamaica Line platforms, leading to the Canarsie Line platforms

A two-track, one-half-block elevated connection was built on the east side of Vesta Avenue (now Van Sinderen Avenue) between the Fulton Street and Broadway Lines.[14] This connection, equipped with athird rail to supply electric power, was opened on August 9, 1900, and new service patterns were implemented: during times other thanrush hours, Lexington Avenue and Fulton Street trains were through-routed, and travel beyond Manhattan Junction required a transfer.[15][16] This "East New York Loop" was unpopular, and was soon stopped;[17] the next service to use the tracks was theBMT Canarsie Line toBroadway Ferry (later the15 train), joined to the Fulton Street Line at Pitkin and Snediker Avenues in 1906.[8]: 14 [18]

The name was changed from Manhattan Junction to Broadway Junction in 1913.[19] TheDual Contracts were signed on March 19, 1913, between the City and theInterborough Rapid Transit Company and theBrooklyn Rapid Transit Company (BRT). As part of the agreement, the BRT, which owned the elevated lines in Brooklyn, agreed to construct bidirectional express tracks on the Fulton and Broadway Elevateds.[20] The Broadway express track was placed into service on December 23, 1916.[21] The current Broadway Elevated station at Eastern Parkway opened on August 5, 1919, replacing the old Manhattan Junction station.[8]: 14 [22]: 385  The full BMT 14th Street-Canarsie Line was completed on July 14, 1928, with the opening of the segment connecting Broadway Junction withMontrose Avenue.[17][23][24]

IND station

[edit]

By 1936, the Independent Subway System's Fulton Street Line had been extended toRockaway Avenue. At that time, Broadway Junction was an all-Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit (BMT) transfer point. Further eastward extension of the line was delayed by World War II; the Broadway–East New York station opened on December 30, 1946.[25][26] A direct escalator passageway was constructed between the IND and BMT stations in East New York to allow passengers free transfers.[27] The passageway opened on July 1, 1948.[28]: 16, 38  TheFulton Street Elevated was now redundant, and BMT service on the line closed entirely on April 26, 1956, with the eastern portion to Lefferts Boulevard connected to the IND.[29]

TheNew York City Board of Transportation announced plans in November 1949 to spend $325,000 extending platforms at several IND stations, including Broadway–East New York, to accommodate 11-car, 660-foot (200 m) trains.[30][31] The lengthened trains began running during rush hour on September 8, 1953, with eleven-car trains operating on weekdays.[32]: 37–38  The project cost $400,000 and increased the total carrying capacity of rush-hour trains by 4,000 passengers.[33] The operation of eleven-car trains ended in 1958 because of operational difficulties. The signal blocks, especially in Manhattan, were too short to accommodate the longer trains, and the motormen had a very small margin of error to properly align the train with the platform. It was found that operating ten-car trains allowed for two additional trains per hour to be scheduled.[34]

Complex renovation and later years

[edit]

The entire complex was renovated from 1999 to 2001. The design bid for the project was awarded in May 1996.[35]: C-24–C-26  As part of the project, an abandoned mezzanine and adjacent staircases were removed, a new station booth was built and the public address system was improved. In 2001, as part of the work a piece of artwork made by Al Loving titledBrooklyn, New Morning was installed in the station.[36] This piece of art consists of 75 unique glass panels arranged in a series throughout the complex and a mosaic mural wall that is 7–10 feet (2.1–3.0 m). This installation was part ofMTA Arts & Design's program to install artwork in stations that undergo rehabilitations.[37] Other necessary improvements were also completed as part of the project.[38] For a long time, the stations within the complex went by three different names: the original Eastern Parkway on theBMT Jamaica Line, Broadway Junction on theBMT Canarsie Line, and Broadway–East New York (IND Fulton Street Line). Conformity between the station names was established in 2003.[39]

As part of a project initiated in 2017 in which 200 blocks of land in East New York were rezoned for housing and improvements to area parks and schools were planned, theNew York City Economic Development Corporation initiated a study to foster economic growth around Broadway Junction as a transit hub with residential and commercial uses.[4] In 2018, the MTA announced several further improvements to the Broadway Junction station: new elevators for the Fulton Street Line platforms,[40] as well as staircases for the Canarsie Line platforms[41] and Jamaica Line platforms.[42] MayorEric Adams announced in May 2023 that the MTA would spend $400 million on improvements at the Broadway Junction station, including seven elevators, a new entrance on Van Sinderen Avenue directly to the Canarsie Line platforms, and replacement of all of the complex's escalators.[43] In addition, the city government would spend $95 million to build pedestrian plazas around the station.[43][44] AtkinsRéalis was hired in June 2024 to design the station's renovation, including accessibility improvements.[45] Work on the project began in 2025, despite concerns from local residents that the project would result ingentrification.[46][47] The MTA also announced in 2025 that a customer service center would open at the station.[48]

Plans for theInterborough Express, alight rail line using theBay Ridge Branch right of way, were announced in 2023.[49] As part of the project, a light rail station at Atlantic Avenue has been proposed next to the existing subway station.[50][51]

The station complex is composed of three stations: the two elevated stations on the BMT Jamaica and Canarsie Lines, as well as the underground station on the IND Fulton Street Line.[52]: 86–87  The IND station is accessible from the station's ground-level station house, at the east end of the station complex, using staircases down to platform level. The BMT lines are reachable from that same station house via escalators from street level to the upper mezzanine, which is located over the elevated BMT Jamaica Line platforms and at the BMT Canarsie Line's platform level. The two escalators, which were replaced in 2000, are long and steep. A footbridge leads from the upper mezzanine to the BMT Canarsie Line's northbound platform.[8]: 38 [53]

Despite having been renovated in the late 1990s, the Broadway Junction complex does not conform to theAmericans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and there are no elevators in the station because the different parts of the complex are too far from each other.[54] Because Broadway Junction is a major transfer station, the community identified this lack of access as a major issue.[55] Calls for elevators were renewed in 2017, after the announcement of theL train shutdown in 2019–2020, which temporarily restricts Canarsie Line service to Manhattan during off-peak hours.[56] In January 2018, the MTA announced that the IND Fulton Street Line platforms would receive elevators, and that elevators were also being studied for the BMT Jamaica Line platforms. However, the BMT Canarsie Line platforms were initially not expected to receive these improvements.[40]

Exit

[edit]

The fare control area is in the station house, with a token booth and turnstile banks. The structure was built along with the IND station. The station house leads to Van Sinderen Avenue between Fulton Street to the south, and Truxton Street and Broadway to the north. This is the only entrance to the entire complex.[52]: 86–87  There is also a police precinct located in the station house,New York City Police Department (NYPD) Transit Police District 33, at the south end of the building.[8]: 38 [53] The station was previously part of Transit Police District 23.[57] The station house is adjacent to Callahan-Kelly Playground, and is recessed a short distance west from Van Sinderen Avenue.[8]: 38 [52]: 95 

A ventilation structure for the IND line sits at the west end of the park at Sackman Street.[8]: 49 [58] There have been planning studies to build a new entrance in this area.[59]

TheBroadway Junction station on theBMT Canarsie Line, served by theL train at all times, has two tracks, oneisland platform and oneside platform.Manhattan-bound trains use the island platform for northbound service whileCanarsie-bound trains use the side platform for southbound service, similar to the configuration of theBowling Green station on theIRT Lexington Avenue Line. However, unlike Bowling Green, the southbound trains can use the island platform if necessary.[8]: 50 [60]: 19, 32, 64  The station is betweenBushwick Avenue–Aberdeen Street to the north andAtlantic Avenue to the south.[61]

This station opened on July 14, 1928, as the final section of the 14th Street–Eastern District Line, now part of the Canarsie Line, opened betweenMontrose Avenue and Broadway Junction. This new line allowed trains from Canarsie to run via the 14th Street Line in Manhattan in addition to the Nassau Street Line.[24][23] The station is one of the highest elevated platforms in the city, sitting above the already-elevatedBMT Jamaica Line. As high as this station platform is, it plunges abruptly into a tunnel at the north end. This end of the station slopes sharply downward, and the platform end is about 200 yards (180 m) away from the tunnel's portal. Adiamond crossover was installed here between 1998 and 2001.[62][63][60]: 32, 64 

The south end of the northbound platform divides into two, with a central gap between the two legs. Two normally-unused tracks connect the Canarsie and Jamaica lines. The southbound track can be seen emerging beneath the two legs of the northbound platform; the northbound flyover with its severe curve can be seen just east of the station, beginning near the signal tower.[60]: 32, 64  During 1999, this station underwent a series of renovations, including new canopies, a new crossover (known as "The Barn" because of its rustic red siding and white trim), and the removal of a hazardous crossunder.[64] The old-style platform lights were removed and replaced with light fixtures that curve upward and split into two lights, widely seen elsewhere in the system.[65][66] In March 2018, in preparation for theL train shutdown, the MTA announced that it would be installing two extra staircases to the BMT Canarsie Line platforms; at the time, there was only one passageway to each platform.[41]

TheBroadway Junction station is an express station on theBMT Jamaica Line that has three tracks and twoisland platforms.[8]: 50  The station is served by theJ at all times and by theZ only during rush hours in the peak direction; both routes run on the outer two local tracks. The next stop to theeast (railroadnorth) isAlabama Avenue for all service; the next stop to thewest (railroadsouth) isChauncey Street for skip-stop Z trains and local J trains, andHalsey Street for skip-stop J trains.[61] The middle express track is not used by regular service. At each end of the station are track connections to theEast New York Yard. Trains that run to or from that yard can terminate or begin at this station.[60]: 32, 64 

The station was originally calledEastern Parkway station, named for its original exit on the extreme west end of the platforms. This entrance is now closed, though the street stairs and station house are still present, now being used as employee space. A second fare control area, a mezzanine, at Conway Street in the middle of the platforms was also closed, and was removed in the 2000s as part of the station's renovation.[8]: 50 [38][67]: 4  The ironwork for the old Fulton Elevated trackways can be seen under this portion of the complex from the platforms. Three staircases from each platform lead to the upper mezzanine of the complex.[8]: 50  Themezzanine is above the platforms and connects to the Canarsie Line and to the exit at street level via two longescalators. At street level, there is a transfer to the undergroundIND Fulton Street Line and thefare control area.[8]: 39–40 

As part of the 2015–2019 Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Capital Program, station capacity enhancements were made at the station. The project involved the building of two additional staircases from each platform to the mezzanine to reduce platform congestion. Design work started in February 2017, and was finished in August 2017. The project was being bid on as of January 2018[update], work began in July 2018, and the new staircases were finished around October 2018.[42]

TheBroadway Junction station on theIND Fulton Street Line, formerly called theBroadway–East New York station,[8]: 14 [68][27] is a standard express station with four tracks and twoisland platforms.[8]: 48 [60]: 32  The station is served by theA at all times and by theC except at night. The A runs express during the day and local during the night, while theC always runs local. The next stop to the west (railroad north) isRockaway Avenue for local trains andUtica Avenue for express trains; the next stop to the east (railroad south) isLiberty Avenue for local trains andEuclid Avenue for express trains.[61]

The land for the station was acquired by the city in 1938, and in order to construct the station and other utilities, the land had to be cleared of buildings.[8]: 49  Some of the land was given to theNew York City Parks Department in 1945 for the construction of Callahan-Kelly Playground, which was named after two local soldiers who died duringWorld War I.[58] The station was nearly complete when the United States' entrance intoWorld War II in 1941 halted construction due to material shortages.[8]: 14 [25][26] Work resumed following the war to install the necessary signals, tracks and complete the escalators to the BMT platforms.[26][27] The contract for the 43-foot (13 m) escalator was awarded on November 7, 1945, to theOtis Elevator Company.[27] The station opened on December 30, 1946,[25][68][69] while the escalator was completed on July 1, 1948, after supply delays.[27][28]: 16, 38  In the early 1950s, the platforms were extended to 660 feet (200 m) to accommodate 11-car trains.[70][71][72]

The station's tile band is unique in that it incorporates two types of tile–gloss and matte–in contrasting shades of cobalt blue (gloss border) and blueberry (matte center). When the station was renamed in 2003,[39] the "EAST NY" tiles on the wall were removed[73] and replaced by tiles reading "JUNCTION", in a very closely matching IND font.[74] There is an active control tower just past the head end of the Queens-bound platform.[75]

East of the station, the tunnel widens on both sides to accommodate an additional trackway diverging from the local tracks. Thesebellmouths, one of which has an emergency exit, were built for a proposed extension along theBMT Jamaica Line, or for a proposedJamaica Avenue Subway.[76] They were not a provision for theIND Second System, as were similar structures on otherIND lines, but rather date from an earlier plan for the IND Fulton Street Line, which would have connected the IND tracks west of the station to two lines to the east of the station: the BMT Jamaica Line tracks, and the BMT Fulton Street Line tracks toLefferts Boulevard, which were eventually connected to the IND Fulton Street Line anyway, albeit pastGrant Avenue.[77]

Manhattan Junction was the original name for the Fulton Street Elevated platforms. It was located above Fulton and Sackman Streets, and was the second station to be built in the area of Broadway Junction. The station was built by theKings County Elevated Railway on July 4, 1889.[13] Manhattan Junction station had an island platform and two tracks, with a spur leading to theEast New York Yard, as well as a side platform on the north side of the station that turned north along the East New York Loop, and ended on the south side of theBMT Jamaica Line platforms.[15] The line was originally double tracked; a third track was added in the mid-1910s as part of theDual Contracts expansion of the line betweenNostrand Avenue andHinsdale Street.[78] The Dual Contracts work reconfigured the Broadway Junction station (then called Manhattan Junction), including removal of the Fulton Street Line platforms.[79]

In 1938, theIndependent Subway System began constructing their ownFulton Street Subway and added an underground subway station named Broadway–East New York station.[8]: 49  Stations west of this point were being made obsolete as many were being replaced by the subway stations. The subway station opened in December 1946,[25][26] and all stations east of Rockaway Avenue closed.[29] The ironwork for the old Fulton Elevated trackways can still be found over Fulton Street between Van Sinderen Avenue and Williams Place, and can be seen under this portion of the complex from the Canarsie Line platforms. The severed connection between the station and the East New York Yard can also be seen below the Canarsie Line and above the north side of Fulton Street.[8]: 50 

Ridership

[edit]

In 2016, the station had 3,085,401 boardings, making it the 166th most used station in the 422-station system. This amounted to an average of 9,189 passengers per weekday.[3] In 2017,The New York Times wrote that 100,000 daily passengers used the station per day, meaning that the vast majority of passengers used the station to make transfers to other routes.[4] By 2019, annual ridership had declined to 2,759,349 boardings, making Broadway Junction the 177th most-used station in the 423-station system. This amounted to an average of 7,813 passengers per weekday.[3] Due to theCOVID-19 pandemic in New York City, ridership dropped drastically in 2020, with only 1,292,868 passengers entering the station that year.[3]
