Today MTA New York City Transit reopened the 4th Avenue-9th Street station house on the F/G line at the east side of 4th Avenue between 9th and 10th Streets in Park Slope. The entrance had been shuttered for more than 40 years.
The project was made possible thanks to funding from Assemblywoman Joan L. Millman and Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz who were on hand this morning for a ribbon cutting along with Council Members Brad Lander and Sarah Gonzalez, Assembly Member Jim Brennan and Thomas F. Prendergast – President of MTA New York City Transit.
The entire station house has been completely restored with brand new lights, floors, repainted walls, and new turnstiles. Residents of Park Slope and points east can now avoid crossing busy 4th Avenue in order to get to the station, benefiting the majority of the 11,400 customers who use the station on an average weekday.
Although this entrance is now open, there is much more work to come including restoring the historic arch spanning 4th Avenue and restoring all the storefront windows on 4th Avenue and on 10th Street.
