IRT Flushing Line of theNew York City Subway . Located at 61st Street and Roosevelt Avenue inWoodside, Queens , it is served by the NYCS|7 at all times and by supplemental peak-direction NYCS|7|<7> service on weekdays.This express station has two island platforms and three tracks–two tracks for local NYCS|7 service and a bidirectional center track for weekday peak-direction express service. There is a mezzanine located at the center, underneath the platforms, with a new ADA-compliant elevator to each platform.
The Woodside station of the
Long Island Rail Road is located directly beneath the Flushing Line station; any of the three LIRR platforms can be accessed directly from the mezzanine.Entrance and exit are provided by long stairs down to street level on the northern curb of Roosevelt Avenue at 61st Street, as well as to other nearby locations via the LIRR platforms. An ADA-compliant elevator provides access to street level at the northeast corner of 61st Street and Roosevelt Avenue, while a long escalator at the southeast corner provides entrance only.
Artwork includes John Cavanagh's "Commuting/Community" (1986), located near the stairway down to LIRR Track 4, and Dimitri Gerakaris' "Woodside Continuum" (1999), which forms part of the steel-grating fare-control separation.
