Chambers Street On The J/M/Z Being Re-Done

[Phil D. 0]

Anyone notice that Chambers street is getting alot of work done to it? Last time I was there they had alot of yellow caution tape around and I saw many workers working on the walls and stuff. I think that Chambers street is being re-done and getting a way over do job to spruce up the station.

I have been noticing that they are starting to fix up that station. hope the unused platfrom will still be visable once the work is competed...

Finally. A lot of stations along BMT Jamaica/Nassau look really bad. I think it smelled like urine the last time I was at Chambers.

Please please please please fix Bowery , please. The last thing we need is another abandoned station. But still, good to hear they're fixing up Chambers St... I just hope they don't wall anything off.

The middle platform at columbus circle has been unused for a really, really long time. It's important they keep unused platforms open and accessible in case of emergencies. They have it largely blocked off as of last summer, have not been up that way in a while. Maybe next time i go to the museum of natural history i'll get some photos.

It's blocked off and used for storage for equipment/supplies for the current renovations ongoing at 59th/CC

They use that platform for fan trips.

I hear it's not a whole renovation, but mainly partial...is that true or is it that the whole station's being completely renovated?

[Cait Sith 9,631]

from what i saw, the stairs and part of the floors were fixed.

[R1Toasty 0]

Yeah, columbus circle had something going on last time I was there... here's a pic of it from last time.

Really? That middle platform at 59-CC has a major rat problem.

yep in ive seen pics where fan trips start at that middle platform....

[DOB2RTO 29]

Good, cause when I had to make my trip from Yonkers to Fresh Pond depot, for qualification, I had to use that rats nest, grimy station. I wouldn't dare sit on the benches there. The station looked like the equipment on the line. Old and dirty.

Its about time Chambers Street is getting fixed up. Its been long over-waited.

Actually didn't they use that station in Ghostbusters II, with the river of slime, and wasn't it also used in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? That disgusting layer dripping ooze, and the big rat.......

DOB, funny you should mention Ghostbusters II. I've been watching that movie a bunch of times since my dad got it for me and my kid brother in January.

Wow well its good that they are finally paying attention to some of these stations. Maybe they can eventually paint the el too. Has anyone seen it BTW :eek:

That station was never in very good condition to begin with. Glad to see that some effort is being taken to improve it.

Haha seriously, along most of its route in Brooklyn and Queens, it looks ancient and very poorly maintained as if the MTA has been deliberately neglecting its state of condition lol.
