New Lots Avenue is a station on the BMT Canarsie Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of New Lots and Van Sinderen Avenues in East New York, it is served by the L train at all times. ==Station layout== This elevated station, opened on December 28, 1906, has two tracks and two offset side platforms. The platforms have windscreens and canopies at their centers and woven-wire fences with dark gray steel frames at either ends. The station's only entrance is via a ground-level station house beneath the tracks on the southwest corner of Van Sinderen and New Lots Avenues. Inside is a token booth, turnstile bank, and two staircases to the Canarsie-bound platform and one to the Manhattan-bound one, all at their centers. This station was renovated in 2006–7, which included new platform edges with yellow tactile warning strips, beige windscreens and red canopies (both with green frames), and installation of an artwork called ''16 Windows'' by Eugene Tung. The artwork features eight stained glass windows on each platform windscreen. The ones on the Manhattan-bound platform depict people doing morning activities like eating breakfast and tooth brushing while those on the Canarsie-bound platform depict people doing evening activities like eating dinner and getting ready for bed. This coincides with normal peak direction rush hour service in the subway as most people board trains on the northbound platform going to Manhattan in the morning and disembark from trains on the southbound platform coming from Manhattan in the evening. To the south, the Canarsie Line becomes an open cut to East 105th Street and Canarsie – Rockaway Parkway. To the north, it becomes an elevated structure to Livonia Avenue until Broadway Junction. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New Lots Avenue (BMT Canarsie Line)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
