Posted by LA Scott on Mon Dec 17 08:56:23 2018, in response to List of closed New York City Subway entrances, posted by Union Tpke on Sun Dec 16 12:37:47 2018. Atlantic Ave/Barclays has a mix of removed and reconstructed entrances.The 3 IRT platforms have an underpass at the south end that originally connected to street stairs on either side of Flatbush south of Atlantic. At some point the underpass and entrances were closed. During the 2010-2012 construction, the two street stairs on the west side were removed and one was converted into an emergency exit. The East side was completely removed and the new (much larger) entrance shared with the BMT was put in place. The underpass was left in place, but the stairs to the Manhattan bound local platform were removed and a ramp to the new fare control area was constructed instead. The BMT Brighton platform originally had a tiny south mezzanine with the entrance on the southeast corner of Atlantic and Flatbush. At some point it was closed and the platform to mezzanine stairs were removed. During the 2010-2012 reconstruction new stairs were added connected to the new large entrance shared with the IRT. The Atlantic IRT station also has the removed entrance where the kiosk is on the Flatbush/4th/Atlantic triangle. |
