Previously unopened entrances[edit]

Station Division Line Borough Location Date Station Opened Date Opened Reason for Opening
Bergen Street B (IND) Culver Line Brooklyn Warren Street and Smith Street March 20, 1933 After 1940[1] Did not open along with the other Warren Street entrances in 1933,[2] and still closed in 1940.[3] The Butler Club requested the opening of the entrances in 1949.[4]
Fort Hamilton Parkway Brooklyn Southeastern corner of Reeve Place and Prospect Avenue October 7, 1933
Northwestern corner of Fort Hamilton Parkway and Prospect Expressway October 1962 Entrance did not open with the rest of the station.[5] Was partially demolished as part of the construction of the Prospect Expressway. It was decided to rebuild it and open it following a TA poll that found that 73% of nearby residents questioned favored opening the entrance.[6] The survey, which was issued in March 1962, was done at the request of local residents who claimed that the opening of the highway made the opening of the entrance necessary.[7]
Franklin Avenue B (IND) Fulton Street Line Brooklyn Eastern corners of Classon Avenue and Fulton Street (2) April 9, 1936
Greenpoint Avenue B (IND) Crosstown Line Brooklyn Southern corners of India Street and Manhattan Avenue August 19, 1933 By August 25, 1933[8] The NYCBOT did not believe that ridership would warrant hiring people to staff the entrances.[9]
Nassau Avenue Northern corners of Norman Avenue and Manhattan Avenue August 1936[10]—1941[11][12]
Nostrand Avenue B (IND) Fulton Street Line Brooklyn Mezzanine to both eastern corners of Bedford Avenue and Fulton Street (2)[13][14][15] April 9, 1936 1950 The entrances were boarded up, and were only opened after a fight by the Bedford-Stuyvesant Neighborhood Council. After the decision to open it was announced, turnstiles and a change booth were installed in the entrance.[16]
Utica Avenue Western corners of Stuyvesant Avenue and Fulton Street c. June 1936[17] The opening of the entrances was urged by the Fulton-Macon Civic Association, which sent a petition to Chairman of the Board of Transportation, John Delaney. He ordered that the entrances be reopened in June 1936.
47th–50th Streets–Rockefeller Center B (IND) Sixth Avenue Line Manhattan Southwestern corner of 47th Street and Sixth Avenue (1) December 15, 1940 After 1941 The entrances was fenced up since the line's opening[18]
46th Street B (IND) Queens Boulevard Line Queens Northeastern corner of Newtown Road and 48th Street (1) August 19, 1933 After January 1934[19] The Astoria Heights Taxpayers Association circulated petitions in October 1933 demanding that these entrances be opened.[20]
Southeastern corner of 48th Street and Broadway (1)
63rd Drive–Rego Park station 63rd Drive and Queens Boulevard (1) December 31, 1936 March 15, 1943 The entrance was opened after a four-year effort by the Rego Park Democratic Club demanding its opening. Superintendent of the IND had said that the cost of maintaining a change booth was unwarranted, and said that the turnstiles in use at unstaffed entrances were frequently jammed with slugs. It was to be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily as an exit only. A checker would be stationed at the exit to determine whether the hours should be extended. The club had submitted petitions with 5,428 signatures asking to have the staircase opened and used for exits and entrances. There would be two exit turnstiles. The entrance had been boarded up since the line opened. The entrance would provide direct access to a bus stop, and would help riders boarding in the front half of trains heading Queens-bound.[21]
67th Avenue Eastern corners of 67th Drive and Queens Boulevard (2) February 5, 1962 This entrance has been built along with the rest of the station, but had not been opened until this point because the station's ridership had not warranted it.[22] The reopening was also prompted by action from civic organizations. The change booth would be open from 6 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday to Friday.[23]
75th Avenue Southeastern corner of 75th Road and Queens Boulevard (1) July to October 1938 This entrance opened due to increased ridership from six new apartment buildings in the area.[24] The owners of these six new apartment buildings, Cord Meyer Development Company, local homeowners and civic associations placed pressure on the Board of Transportation to open the entrance in June and July 1938.[25][26]
Queens Plaza Bridge Plaza[27] August 19, 1933 After August 1933
Steinway Street Northeastern and southwestern corners of 34th Avenue and Steinway Street (1) After January 1934[19] The Astoria Heights Taxpayers Association circulated petitions in October 1933 demanding that these entrances be opened.[20]
Woodhaven Boulevard Northeastern corner of 92nd Street and Queens Boulevard December 31, 1936 After December 1938 The opening of the entrance was urged by the Elmhurst, Queens, Community Council. The group threatened to "go down and open it up themselves" if the Board of Transportation did not do so.[28]
