The Broadway Junction station is a

Z
train during rush hours in the peak direction only.

The station is adjacent to the

fare control
building located at the eastern end of the Fulton Street Line station. There is evidence of closed exits from the Jamaica Line platforms.

The station opened as Manhattan Junction as part of the BMT 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 the East 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 as Eastern Parkway. The modern-day Canarsie Line platforms, known as Broadway 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 to Broadway–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,[2] it is Brooklyn's third-busiest station in terms of passenger activity. It sees 100,000 passengers per day as of 2017, the vast majority of whom use it to make transfers. In 2017, the New York City Economic Development Corporation started studying options to rezone the surrounding area as a transit hub.[3]

History

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 historical

Jamaica Pass, the junction of the modern Broadway, Fulton Street, and Jamaica Avenue. The Pass is where these roads passed through the valleys of the area, which are part of the terminal moraine created by the Wisconsin glaciation.[4][5]

BMT complex

The first rail service in the area was the

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.

15 train), joined to the Fulton Street Line at Pitkin and Snediker Avenues in 1906.[7]: 14 [17]

The name was changed from Manhattan Junction to Broadway Junction in 1913.

IND station

By 1936, the Independent Subway System's Fulton Street Line had been extended to

Fulton 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.[28]

The New 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.[29][30] The lengthened trains began running during rush hour on September 8, 1953, with eleven-car trains operating on weekdays.[31]: 37–38  The project cost $400,000 and increased the total carrying capacity of rush-hour trains by 4,000 passengers.[32] 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.[33]

Complex renovation

The entire complex was renovated from 1999 to 2001. The design bid for the project was awarded in May 1996.[34]: 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 titled Brooklyn, New Morning was installed in the station.[35] 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 of MTA Arts & Design's program to install artwork in stations that undergo rehabilitations.[36] Other necessary improvements were also completed as part of the project.[37] For a long time, the stations within the complex went by three different names: the original Eastern Parkway on the BMT Jamaica Line, Broadway Junction on the BMT Canarsie Line, and Broadway–East New York (IND Fulton Street Line). Conformity between the station names was established in 2003.[38]

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, the New York City Economic Development Corporation initiated a study to foster economic growth around Broadway Junction as a transit hub with residential and commercial uses.[3] In 2018, the MTA announced several further improvements to the Broadway Junction station: new elevators for the Fulton Street Line platforms,[39] as well as staircases for the Canarsie Line platforms[40] and Jamaica Line platforms.[41] Mayor Eric 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.[42] In addition, the city government would spend $95 million to build pedestrian plazas around the station.[42][43]

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.[44]: 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.[7]: 38 [45]

Despite having been renovated in the late 1990s, the Broadway Junction complex does not conform to the

L train shutdown in 2019–2020, which temporarily restricts Canarsie Line service to Manhattan during off-peak hours.[48] 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 are not expected to receive these improvements.[39]

Exit

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.[44]: 86–87  There is also a police precinct located in the station house, NYPD Transit Police District 33, at the south end of the building.[7]: 38 [45] The station was previously part of Transit Police District 23.[49] The station house is adjacent to Callahan-Kelly Playground, and is recessed a short distance west from Van Sinderen Avenue.[7]: 38 [44]: 95 

A ventilation structure for the IND line sits at the west end of the park at Sackman Street.[7]: 49 [50] There have been planning studies to build a new entrance in this area.[51]

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.

L 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.[40]

The Broadway Junction station is an express station on the

East New York Yard. Trains that run to or from that yard can terminate or begin at this station.[52]
: 32, 64 

The station was originally called Eastern 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.

: 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.[41]

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.

Otis Elevator Company.[26] The station opened on December 30, 1946,[24][60][61] while the escalator was completed on July 1, 1948, after supply delays.[26][27]: 16, 38  In the early 1950s, the platforms were extended to 660 feet (200 m) to accommodate 11-car trains.[62][63][64]

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,[38] the "EAST NY" tiles on the wall were removed[65] and replaced by tiles reading "JUNCTION", in a very closely matching IND font.[66] There is an active control tower just past the head end of the Queens-bound platform.[67]

East of the station, the tunnel widens on both sides to accommodate an additional trackway diverging from the local tracks. These

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 the

Hinsdale Street.[70]

In 1938, the Independent Subway System began constructing their own Fulton Street Subway and added an underground subway station named Broadway–East New York station.[7]: 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,[24][25] and the elevated station above it closed on April 26, 1956, along with all other stations east of Rockaway Avenue.[28] 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.[7]: 50 

Ridership

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.[2] 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.[3] 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.[2] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City, ridership dropped drastically in 2020, with only 1,292,868 passengers entering the station that year.[2]
