Queens Subway Stations To Get Revamped Next Year

QUEENS — Four subway stations in Queens are getting a deep clean next year as part of the city’s plan to work on cosmetic upgrades at stations during planned weekend outages.

The 21 St (G line), Vernon Blvd (7 line), 104 St (J line) and Court Square (7 line) stations will have MTA staff work on power washing the stations, removing gum from floors, benches, staircases or columns, repainting columns, or retiling platforms or walls.

“We want customers to feel proud of their home station, and this program aims to do just that,” said NYC Transit President Richard Davey.

The “Station ReNEWvation Program includes eight other stations that are set to be revamped by the first three months of 2023.

The project aims to increase customer satisfaction by 10% by June 2024. According to MTA officials, subway customers cited station cleanliness as one of the top attributes to increase satisfaction.

By the end of 2022, nine stations in the Bronx are expected to be deep-cleaned as part of the program.
