History

Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line

The Dual Contracts, which were signed on March 19, 1913, were contracts for the construction, rehabilitation and operation of rapid transit lines in the City of New York. The contracts were "dual" in that they were signed between the city and two separate private companies, the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT) and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company (BRT), all working together to make the construction of the Dual Contracts possible. The Dual Contracts promised the construction of several lines in Brooklyn. As part of Contract 4, the IRT agreed to build a branch of the original subway line south down Seventh Avenue, Varick Street, and West Broadway to serve the West Side of Manhattan.[3][4][5]

The construction of this line, in conjunction with the construction of the Lexington Avenue Line, would change the operations of the IRT system. Instead of having trains go via Broadway, turning onto 42nd Street, before finally turning onto Park Avenue, there would be two trunk lines connected by the 42nd Street Shuttle. The system would be changed from looking like a "Z" system on a map to an "H" system. One trunk would run via the new Lexington Avenue Line down Park Avenue, and the other trunk would run via the new Seventh Avenue Line up Broadway. In order for the line to continue down Varick Street and West Broadway, these streets needed to be widened, and two new streets were built, the Seventh Avenue Extension and the Varick Street Extension.[6] It was predicted that the subway extension would lead to the growth of the Lower West Side, and to neighborhoods such as Chelsea and Greenwich Village.[7][8] Originally, there were to be no express stops between 34th Street–Penn Station to the north and Chambers Street to the south. By late 1912, local merchants were advocating for the construction of an express station at 14th Street and Seventh Avenue.[9]

14th Street opened as part of an extension of the line from 34th Street–Penn Station to South Ferry on July 1, 1918.[10][11] Initially, the station was served by a shuttle running from Times Square to South Ferry.[10][12] The new "H" system was implemented on August 1, 1918, joining the two halves of the Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line and sending all West Side trains south from Times Square.[13] An immediate result of the switch was the need to transfer using the 42nd Street Shuttle. The completion of the "H" system doubled the capacity of the IRT system.[7]

Canarsie Line

The Dual Contracts also called for the construction of a subway under 14th Street, to run to Canarsie in Brooklyn; this became the BMT's Canarsie Line. Booth and Flinn was awarded the contract to construct the line on January 13, 1916.[14] Clifford Milburn Holland served as the engineer-in-charge during the construction.[15] The Canarsie Line's Sixth Avenue station opened on June 30, 1924, as the terminal of the 14th Street–Eastern Line, which ran from Sixth Avenue under the East River and through Williamsburg to Montrose and Bushwick Avenues.[16][17]

Sixth Avenue Line

New York City mayor John Francis Hylan's original plans for the Independent Subway System (IND), proposed in 1922, included building over 100 miles (160 km) of new lines and taking over nearly 100 miles (160 km) of existing lines, which would compete with the IRT and the BMT, the two major subway operators of the time.[18][19] The New York City Board of Transportation (BOT) approved the IND Sixth Avenue Line in 1925; the line was to run from Midtown Manhattan underneath Sixth Avenue, Houston Street, Essex Street, and the Rutgers Street Tunnel to Downtown Brooklyn.[20] The IND Sixth Avenue Line was designed to replace the elevated IRT Sixth Avenue Line.[21]

The Midtown section of the Sixth Avenue Line was difficult to construct because part of this stretch of Sixth Avenue was already occupied by the Hudson & Manhattan Railroad (H&M)'s Uptown Hudson Tubes, which ran between Eighth and 33rd Streets.[22] As a result, negotiations between the city and the H&M continued for several years.[23] The IND and H&M finally came to an agreement in 1930. The city had decided to build the IND Sixth Avenue Line's local tracks around the pre-existing H&M tubes, and add express tracks for the IND underneath the H&M tubes at a later date.[24]

The Midtown section of the Sixth Avenue Line did not begin construction until March 1936.[25][26] The final contract for the line, covering the section between 9th and 18th Streets, was awarded to Spencer White & Prentis in June 1937.[27] Workers had to navigate around the various utilities and tunnels above, below, and beside the line.[28] The work largely involved cut-and-cover excavations, although portions of the subway had to be tunneled through solid rock.[29] Builders had to use very small charges of dynamite so that they would not disrupt the H&M tunnels alongside the route, the street and elevated line above, and the water main below.[30] The Sixth Avenue Elevated had to be underpinned during construction, and workers had to be careful not to cause cracks in the Catskill Aqueduct, which was located around 200 feet (61 m) below the avenue's surface.[31][28] The H&M's 14th Street station had to be rebuilt to provide space for the IND's 14th Street station, which would be located at a similar elevation.[31] The Sixth Avenue Line's 14th Street station opened on December 15, 1940, along with the rest of the IND Sixth Avenue Line from West Fourth Street–Washington Square to 47th–50th Streets–Rockefeller Center.[32]

Consolidation as a station complex
Free passageway tunnel

The city government took over the BMT's operations on June 1, 1940,[33][34] and the IRT's operations on June 12, 1940.[35][36] In 1947, the New York City Board of Transportation (BOT) replaced the incandescent llghtbulbs in the Sixth Avenue Line's 14th Street station with fluorescent lamps as part of an experiment to improve illumination in subway stations.[37] A free transfer between the Canarsie Line platform and the Sixth Avenue Line platforms opened on May 9, 1966.[38] On January 16, 1978, a free transfer passageway connecting the 14th Street station on the IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line and the stations on the BMT Canarsie Line and the IND Sixth Avenue Line opened.[39]

The entire station complex except for the PATH station will receive elevators starting in 2022.[40] Originally, the improvements were scheduled for the Sixth Avenue and Canarsie Lines only.[41][42] As of February 2021, funding had been committed to accessibility renovations at the 14th Street/Sixth Avenue station.[43] A contract for nine elevators at the station complex was awarded in November 2021.[44] Between February 27, 2023, and December 2023, the transfer passageway between Sixth and Seventh Avenues will be closed for the installation of elevators, which would make the station compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.[45] A free out-of-system transfer will be available while the passageway is closed. The work involves constructing seven elevators: two from the IRT platforms to the mezzanine; one from the mezzanine to street level at Seventh Avenue; two from the mezzanine to the BMT platform; and one from either IND platform to both the mezzanine and street level at Sixth Avenue.[45][46]

The 14th Street station is an express station on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line, consisting of four tracks and two island platforms.[48]

The track walls on both sides of the platform have their original IRT mosaic trim line with "14" tablets on it at regular intervals. Both platforms have blue I-beam columns that run along both sides at regular intervals with alternating ones having the standard black station name plate in white lettering.

Exits

This station has three fare control areas. The full-time entrance is at the north end. A single staircase from each platform leads to a crossover that has a newsstand in the center, two now defunct restrooms above the southbound platforms and tracks (mosaic signs reading "MEN" and "WOMEN" remain intact), and two full height turnstiles above the northbound platform and tracks (one entry/exit and one exit-only) leading to a staircase that goes up to the southeast corner of 14th Street and Seventh Avenue.[49] There is also a passageway leading to the BMT Canarsie platforms on Sixth Avenue, which in turn allows a free transfer to the IND Sixth Avenue Line platforms. The full-time turnstile bank at the center of the crossover opposite the newsstand leads to a mezzanine containing a token booth, three staircases going up to the either northern corners as well as the southwest corner of 14th Street and Seventh Avenue.[49] There is also a passageway with directional mosaics that leads to 14th Street/Eighth Avenue, which has been closed since 1991 due to safety concerns.[50]

The station has an exit-only area at the center. Two staircases from each platform go up to a crossover where on either side, a single exit-only turnstile and emergency gate leads to a staircase that goes up to either northern corners of 13th Street and Seventh Avenue.[49]

The station has an unstaffed fare control area at the south end. A single staircase from each platform leads to a crossover and a bank of turnstiles as well as one exit-only and one full-height turnstile. The mezzanine has a now-unused customer assistance booth and two staircases going up to both northern corners of 12th Street and Seventh Avenue.[49]

The 14th Street station is a local station on the IND Sixth Avenue Line, and has two side platforms to the inside of the tracks. Both platforms have a green trim line on a darker green border and mosaic name tablets reading "14TH STREET" in white sans-serif lettering on a dark green background and a lighter green border. Beneath the trim line and name tablets are small directional and number tile captions in white lettering on a black background. Forest green I-beam columns run along both platforms at regular intervals with alternating ones having the standard black name plate with white lettering.

Trains open their doors to the left in both directions, which is unusual for a side platformed station in New York City. Most side platforms in the system are to the outside of the tracks and thus trains open the doors to the right. In the case of 14th Street, because the platforms of the PATH's Uptown Hudson Tubes already existed along Sixth Avenue, the Sixth Avenue Line platforms flank the existing PATH station.[47]

The Sixth Avenue express tracks used by the B and D are at a lower level beneath the PATH tracks and along with the latter are not visible from the platforms. The deep-bore tunnel's round shape becomes square below this station and at 23rd Street, where provisions for lower-level platforms were built.[51]

There is a full length mezzanine over the platforms and tracks.[47]

Exits

There are entrance/exits at both 14th Street and 16th Street, with fare controls at both ends. The 14th Street entrance is shared with the PATH station of the same name, which has a separate fare control.[49] At both intersections, exits lead to all four corners.[49] At the extreme south end of each platform, there is a single-wide stairway descending to the Canarsie Line platform.

The Sixth Avenue station on the BMT Canarsie Line has one island platform and two tracks and is approximately 40 feet (12 m) below street level.

Mosaic tablet on track wall

Both track walls have their original mosaic trim line consisting of earthy tones of olive green, brown, ochre and tan augmented by light green and Copenhagen blue. "6" tablets representing "Sixth Avenue" run along the trim line at regular intervals.[52]

The 1993 artwork here is called MTA Jewels by Jennifer Kotter.[53] It consists of paintings of various subjects on the passageway leading to the IRT.

West of the station, a center lay-up track begins at a bumper block and is only accessible from the Eighth Avenue terminal. This station was the terminal for the BMT Canarsie Line until the Eighth Avenue station opened in 1931.

Exits

The station has seven staircases going up from the platform. The two westernmost ones go up to a passageway that leads to the full-time fare control area at the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line station. The next two go up to the extreme south ends of either platform of the IND Sixth Avenue Line station. The western staircase goes to the southbound platform, and the one directly east of it goes to the northbound platform

The next two staircases go up to a mezzanine leading to fare control that has a powder blue and state blue trim line. A bank of three regular turnstiles and two high entry/exit turnstiles provide entrance/exit from the station and there is no token booth. Two staircases go up to either eastern corners of 14th Street and Sixth Avenue.[49] Another unstaffed bank of turnstiles by the northeast staircase leads to the mezzanine above the Queens-bound platform of 14th Street on the IND.[49]

The last staircase on the extreme east end of the platform leads to a storage area and ventilation room. Another staircase in this section has been removed.
