MTA completes accessibility upgrades, new entrance

PROSPECT PARK SOUTH — THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (MTA) on Tuesday announced the completion of station and accessibility upgrades at the Church Avenue B/Q  subway station in Prospect Park South. Upgrades include a brand new entrance mid-block on East 18 St., complete with two new street-to-platform elevators, two new stairways, a new fare array and a new transfer bridge with a customer information screen. Accessibility upgrades include new boarding areas and tactile edge strips at the edge of the platform. 

“I am so proud of the way that we are knocking out these ADA projects, five times as fast as our MTA predecessors,” MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber said in a release. “Every New Yorker deserves to be able to use our amazing subway system.”

The station also received State of Good Repair work as part of the MTA’s “Revive” program. New mosaic tile artwork will be unveiled at the station in early 2026. The Church Avenue B/Q station serves nearly 10,000 weekday daily riders.
