When were Eastern Parkway and Broadway–East New York renamed Broadway Junction?

When were Eastern Parkway and Broadway–East New York renamed Broadway Junction?
I thought it was around 2003, but I am not sure. Do any of you have any information? Thanks.

It wasn't all at once. The L platforms were renamed long before the others.

Weren't the L platforms always called Broadway Junction? I think the question is when were the others (J/Z and A/C) renamed to match the L?

We have our own so-called Broadway Junction in Denver, although the station is simply, Broadway. Five light rail routes converge going north and split up going southbound. They even added a third track during construction of the Southeast Corridor.

Yes, the 14th Street Line platforms were always Broadway Junction.

It was all Broadway Junction as of March 2006. I'll see if I can find earlier.

The tiles and signs on the IND Broadway-East New York station, were changed over to read 'Broadway Junction' back in 2003.

As reported on the old SubTalk forums, here.

I'm amazed it was that long ago.

And as Mr. Padron's comment on that thread pointed out, "for the BMT Jamaica Line, all of the "Eastern Parkway" platforms signs have already been replaced with "Broadway Junction"."

The name appears in the May 2003 subway map (PDF), with parentheses surrounding their former names.

Ah, the days of the Grand St. shuttle, the Q local and Q express, and the W to Coney Island.

No, Briarwood was added to the station name. It was my home station (check the handle).

It would have been too expensive to change the wall tiles. For a while on the maps it was labeled Briarwood/Van Wyck Blvd, now it's labeled only Briarwood.

Also Jay Street/Boro Hall; Beach 67th Street/Arverne by the Sea.

I'm not sure but didn't they change 161st Street-River Avenue station to 161-Yankee Stadium on the B and D trains.
