History

The Flushing Line was opened from Queensboro Plaza to Alburtis Avenue (now 103rd Street–Corona Plaza) on April 21, 1917, with a local station at what is now 82nd Street.[7] The current 82nd Street station was known as "25th Street" from its opening until March 10, 1921, when it was renamed "25th Street (Jackson Heights)".[2] The station was again renamed on April 2, 1925, to "82nd Street–Jackson Heights".[3][8]

The city government took over the IRT's operations on June 12, 1940.[9][10] The IRT routes were given numbered designations in 1948 with the introduction of "R-type" rolling stock, which contained rollsigns with numbered designations for each service.[11] The route from Times Square to Flushing became known as the 7.[12] On October 17, 1949, the joint BMT/IRT operation of the Flushing Line ended, and the line became the responsibility of the IRT.[13] After the end of BMT/IRT dual service, the New York City Board of Transportation announced that the Flushing Line platforms would be lengthened to 11 IRT car lengths; the platforms were only able to fit nine 51-foot-long IRT cars beforehand.[14][15] The platforms at the station were extended in 1955–1956 to accommodate 11-car trains.[16] However, nine-car trains continued to run on the 7 route until 1962, when they were extended to ten cars.[17] With the opening of the 1964 New York World's Fair, trains were lengthened to eleven cars.[18][19] In 1981, the MTA listed the station among the 69 most deteriorated stations in the subway system.[20]

As part of the 2015–2019 Capital Program, the MTA would renovate the 52nd, 61st, 69th, 82nd, 103rd and 111th Streets stations, a project that has been delayed for several years but is slated to begin in mid-2020. Conditions at these stations were among the worst of all stations in the subway system.[21]

This elevated station has three tracks and two side platforms.[22] The center track is used by the peak direction rush hour <7> express service.[6] Both platforms have beige windscreens and brown canopies supported by green frames and columns in the center and black waist-high steel fences at either ends.[23] The station signs are in the standard black name plate in white lettering.[24] Each platform has a large "82" sign between the two staircases to the mezzanine below.[25]

Exits

This station's one entrance/exit is an elevated station house beneath the tracks. It is built of wood and bricks and has a concrete flooring. It has three staircases from all corners of 82nd Street and Roosevelt Avenue except the southeast one and a token booth in the center.[26] Two turnstile banks at either ends lead to a waiting area/crossunder and one staircase to each platform at the center.[27]
