There are always good options for food and drink any time of the day, we have farmers market and the co-op, and I love being so central. Having UPS so near is nice because I like to workout on their track. I'm less than 10 min drive from point defiance, Ruston, downtown, or the East side or South Tacoma.
Also, Art on the Ave is one of my favorite events of the year and it's right off my street! It's so close to everything we like that we can walk to most everything we need normally. Close to restaurants and night life, close to grocery stores and the farmers market. We can be in downtown or on Ruston Way in less than 10 minutes by car.
Great access to mass transit. Plus the houses in our area are about years old, so there is a lot of architectural history and charm. Oh wait! We already do. The neighborhood is fabulously walkable for those looking for dinner or a drink or just to get out of the house. And we love our neighbors! It's a transitional area with a fare amount of retirees, young families, and something's. We love the convenience of living so close to so many great restaurants, bars, and even groceries.
The center of the platform has a huge concrete column with built-in benches. There is evidence of a removed center exit. The north exit Houston St.
The south mezzanine to First Ave. The four tracks at 2nd Avenue were originally, but not now, the same four as at Broadway-Lafayette. A view of the area track map will illustrate this point. The local tracks continue unbroken between Broadway-Lafayette and 2nd Avenue. The track in between the uptown local and express, now used by the connection from the Williamsburg Bridge was original construction, formerly used as a layup track.
Presently the stumps of the express tracks at 2nd Avenue are tied to the local tracks and has a crossover just west of 2nd Avenue. This makes 2nd Avenue into a terminal station for short runs and it is planned that one route from the upper section of the Second Avenue Subway line would end here.
The center tracks continue behind the wall to about Avenue A. Before the mid s they were open and used for laying up trains from time to time, but they were quickly inundated by squatters who domiciled in the nooks and crannies of the tunnel. When they were cleared out by the tracks were closed off. Evidence of the provision for the Second Avenue Subway is found in a lower transverse ceiling across the platforms and the discontiguous mezzanines.
Features tile colors like Second Avenue. Northbound has concrete columns and southbound has I-beams, both in purple. The name tablet colors are reversed.
There are two tracks and two wall platforms. These stairways were always blocked, and there were a few of them. Now, these stairways are gone, and there is no evidence that they were there or what they went to. I suspected that they were part of the IND second system which was never built, but I can find no literature that indicates that they might have been there.
If anyone has any information, please send it along! Tile is off-white brick with purple border. South exit is up 18 steps, a bend in the passageway then 14 more steps and a ramp to the fare control.
Outside the control is a ramp to East Broadway. The north exit leads to Madison Street and also has a ramp to East Broadway outside the paid area. The lower mezzanine is tiled over on the north end along with a closed stairway.
There is a closed center exit which is very narrow and a long closed extreme southern exit. The north upper mezzanine extends further north outside the paid zone. Artwork Displacing Details Noel Copeland, We've passed under the East River through the Rutgers St. Tile is matte finish white brick with purple tile border. The center of the station features round columns with the tile border and white matte finish brick.
The ceiling features some barrel vaults. The north exit leads to York and Jay Streets. There are 32 steps to a long, steep ramp to the fare control. The upper mezzanine is dim and is the site of a new fan plant. There is no south exit. Two tracks and two side platforms. Opened in as part of the Chrystie Street connection work.
There is an extra exit being planned to the street, no details available but a contract has been issued. The tile is ivory in a vertical arrangement with a robin blue tile band.
The Grand Street name is in white. A stylized train artwork is at the stairs to the mezzanine and also in the mezzanine. Rumor has it that the walls along the platforms are designed to be removed, for conversion into two island platforms; space for two tracks which would have been used by the Second Avenue Subway is said to be behind the walls.
It isn't clear if this is actually true or not. In any event, the more recent plans for completion of the Second Ave. The immense growth of Chinatown can be appreciated by watching this station. When it opened in only a few riders got on or off here; the modest entrances were in keeping with this light traffic. Steadily the ridership here swelled. Today there are portions of the day when the platform is filled end to end with people pressed against the wall and toeing the platform edge.
