Maybe now it'll be a little better. But still crowded.

On both sides, renovation work was started and then halted. The result is severely uneven floors, which are actually dangerous to walk on. And what about the platforms?

I used that station for many years. Smelly, drippy, filthy, rotting, and extremely busy at all hours (last/first transfer between the express and local.) The tiles look nice and are a kind of unique, coo. The station house will be great too! 96th Street was horrendously bad. I used that station for many years.
