TheNew Lots Avenue station (originallyNew Lots Road) is an elevatedstation on theBMT Canarsie Line of theNew York City Subway. Located at the intersection of New Lots and Van Sinderen Avenues at the border ofBrownsville andEast New York, Brooklyn,[4] it is served by theL train at all times.[5]
This station opened on July 28, 1906.
The Canarsie-bound platform was closed for renovation from December 2, 1963 to April 2, 1964, and the Manhattan-bound platform was closed for renovation from April 2 to July 23, 1964.[6] The entire project cost $214,700. As part of the project the wooden platforms were replaced with concrete platforms, and canopies and fluorescent lights were installed.[7][8]
The station was renovated again in 2006-2007 at a cost of $10.58 million.[9] The station renovation included the installation of new platform edges with yellow tactile warning strips, beige windscreens and red canopies (both with green frames), and the installation of artwork.
Plans for theInterborough Express, alight rail line using theBay Ridge Branch right of way, were announced in 2023.[10] As part of the project, a light rail station at Linden Boulevard has been proposed next to the existing New Lots Avenue subway station.[11][12]

This elevated station has two tracks and two offsetside platforms.[13] The platforms have windscreens and canopies at their centers and woven-wire fences with dark gray steel frames at either ends.
This station's 2007 artwork is called16 Windows by Eugenie Tung. It features eight stained glass windows on each platform windscreen.[14][15] The ones on the Manhattan-bound platform depict people doing morning activities like eating breakfast and brushing teeth while those on the Canarsie-bound platform depict people doing evening activities like eating dinner and getting ready for bed.[15]
To the south, the Canarsie Line lowers to run at-grade toEast 105th Street andCanarsie–Rockaway Parkway. To the north, it becomes an elevated structure toLivonia Avenue until just west ofBroadway Junction.[16]
The station's only entrance is via a ground-level station house beneath the tracks on the southwest corner of Van Sinderen and New Lots Avenues.[17][4] Inside is a token booth,turnstile bank, and two staircases to the Canarsie-bound platform and one to the Manhattan-bound one, all at their centers.
