Posted by Jailhousedoc on Thu Feb 26 17:39:18 2026 This is about the Briarwood station ( formerly known as Van Wyck Blvd ) on the IND Queens Blvd. line - an NYPD station was built into a previously unused section of the station on the mezzanine level - what was the intent for that space prior to the construction of the police station ? |

Some examples of full mezzanines: Jamaica: 179 St:  Parsons Blvd:  Sutphin Blvd:  Brooklyn: Church Av:  15 St - Prospect Park:  Bedford-Nostrand:
