History
This underground station opened on April 9, 1936, and replaced the BMT Fulton Street El.[1] The Vanderbilt Avenue El station, which was formerly near the current subway station, closed on May 31, 1940.[3]
Under the 2015–2019 MTA Capital Plan, the station, along with thirty other New York City Subway stations, will undergo a complete overhaul and would be entirely closed for up to 6 months. Updates would include cellular service, Wi-Fi, charging stations, improved signage, and improved station lighting.[4][5][6]
