La parte de la estación de la Novena Calle se construyó como parte de la Línea de la Cuarta Avenida, que fue aprobada en 1905. La construcción en el segmento de la línea que incluye Union Street comenzó el 20 de diciembre de 1909 y se completó en septiembre de 1912. La estación abrió el 22 de junio de 1915, como parte de la porción inicial de la línea BMT Fourth Avenue hasta la 59th Street . Las plataformas de la estación se alargaron en 1926-1927, [5] y nuevamente en 1970. [6] La parte de la Cuarta Avenida se construyó como parte de la Línea Culver del Sistema de Metro Independiente operado por la ciudad , y se construyó como una estación elevada por lo que la línea podría pasar sobre el canal de Gowanus hacia el oeste. Esta estación se inauguró el 7 de octubre de 1933. Las dos estaciones se consolidaron en un solo complejo de estaciones el 28 de mayo de 1959.
Historia
Línea de la Cuarta Avenida
Construcción y apertura
La estación de la Novena Calle se construyó como parte de la Línea de la Cuarta Avenida y fue la primera parte de este complejo de estaciones en abrirse. El plan de la línea se adoptó inicialmente el 1 de junio de 1905. [7] La Comisión de Tránsito Rápido fue reemplazada el 1 de julio de 1907 por la Comisión de Servicio Público del Estado de Nueva York (PSC), que aprobó el plan de la línea a finales 1907. [8] [9] El contrato para el tramo de la línea que incluía la estación Ninth Street, Ruta 11A2, que se extendía desde 10th Street hasta Sackett Street, fue adjudicado el 22 de mayo de 1908 a EE Smith Construction Company para $ 2,296,234.93 (equivalente a $ 66,140,000 en 2020). La Junta de Estimaciones de la Ciudad de Nueva York aprobó el contrato el 29 de octubre de 1909. [8] [10] La construcción del segmento comenzó el 20 de diciembre de 1909 y se completó en septiembre de 1912. [7]
Como parte de las negociaciones entre la ciudad de Nueva York, Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company (BRT) y Interborough Rapid Transit Company para la expansión de la red de tránsito de la ciudad, la línea fue arrendada a una subsidiaria del BRT. El acuerdo, conocido como Contrato 4 de los Contratos Duales , se firmó el 19 de marzo de 1913. [8] Ninth Street abrió el 22 de junio de 1915, como parte de una extensión del metro a Coney Island , que incluía la línea de la Cuarta Avenida. al norte de la calle 59, así como toda la línea Sea Beach . [11] [12] La apertura de la estación estuvo marcada con una competencia entre dos trenes que se dirigían desde la estación de Chambers Street en Manhattan hasta la estación de Coney Island, uno que se dirigía a través de la línea West End y el otro a través de la línea Sea Beach; este último llegó primero a Coney Island. [12]
Extensiones de plataforma de la década de 1920
El 27 de junio de 1922, la Comisión de Tránsito del Estado de Nueva York ordenó a sus ingenieros que prepararan planes para alargar los andenes en 23 estaciones en las líneas de la Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT), sucesora del BRT, para acomodar ocho automóviles. Trenes. Como parte del proyecto, las plataformas de Ninth Street se habrían alargado de 435 pies (133 m) a 530 pies (160 m). [13] [14] Aunque la Comisión de Tránsito ordenó al BMT que alargara estas plataformas en septiembre de 1923, el progreso en las extensiones no se produjo hasta el 16 de febrero de 1925, cuando la Junta de Transporte de la Ciudad de Nueva York (NYCBOT) ordenó a sus ingenieros que prepararan planea alargar los andenes en esta y otras once estaciones a lo largo de la línea de la Cuarta Avenida. Estimó el costo del proyecto en $ 633,000 (equivalente a $ 9,341,000 en 2020). [15] El NYCBOT recibió ofertas para el proyecto el 25 de febrero de 1926. [16] El contrato fue adjudicado a Corson Construction Company por $ 345,021 (equivalente a $ 5,044,000 en 2020). [17] Las extensiones se abrieron el 1 de agosto de 1927. [5]
Línea Culver
La estación de la Cuarta Avenida fue construida como parte de la Línea Culver (South Brooklyn) del Sistema Independiente de Metro (IND). Uno de los objetivos del IND del alcalde John Hylan , propuesto en la década de 1920, era una línea a Coney Island , a la que se llegó mediante la reconquista de la BMT Culver Line . [18] [19] Tal como se diseñó originalmente, el servicio desde y hacia Manhattan habría sido proporcionado exclusivamente por trenes expresos de Culver, mientras que todo el servicio local habría ingresado a la línea IND Crosstown . [20]
En 1925, el IND finalizó los planes para construir la línea. [19] El camino de la línea cruzaba el Canal de Gowanus , y el IND originalmente quería construir un túnel de río profundo debajo del canal. Para ahorrar dinero, el IND construyó un viaducto sobre el canal, lo que resultó en la creación de la única sección sobre el suelo del IND original. [21] [22] La primera sección de la línea se abrió el 20 de marzo de 1933, desde Jay Street hasta Bergen Street . [23] La línea se extendió desde Bergen Street hasta Church Avenue el 7 de octubre de 1933, incluida la estación de la Cuarta Avenida. [24] [25]
Complejo de estaciones y años posteriores
Se estableció un punto de transferencia gratuito entre las dos estaciones el 28 de mayo de 1959 para compensar la pérdida del servicio a través de Culver a través de la línea Fourth Avenue. [26]
Renovación de la línea de la Cuarta Avenida
En julio de 1959, la Autoridad de Tránsito de la Ciudad de Nueva York (NYCTA) anunció que instalaría iluminación fluorescente en la estación Ninth Street y otras cinco estaciones a lo largo de la línea Fourth Avenue por entre $ 175,000 y $ 200,000. Las ofertas para el proyecto debían anunciarse el 7 de agosto de 1959 y completarse en el otoño de 1960. [27]
En la década de 1960, la NYCTA inició un proyecto para alargar las plataformas de las estaciones en sus líneas en el sur de Brooklyn a 615 pies (187 m) para acomodar trenes de 10 vagones. [6] El 14 de julio de 1967, la NYCTA otorgó un contrato para realizar perforaciones de prueba en once estaciones de la línea Fourth Avenue, incluida Ninth Street, a WM Walsh Corporation por $ 6,585 (equivalente a $ 51,109 en 2020) en preparación de la construcción. de extensiones de plataforma. [28] La NYCTA emitió una invitación a licitar en el proyecto para extender las plataformas en las estaciones a lo largo de la línea de la Cuarta Avenida entre Pacific Street y 36th Street , incluidas las de Ninth Street, el 28 de marzo de 1969. [29] Financiamiento para la renovación Los proyectos surgieron del Presupuesto de Capital de la NYCTA para 1969-1970, con un costo total de $ 8,177,890 (equivalente a $ 57,713,000 en 2020). [30]
As part of the renovation project, the station's platforms were extended,[6] and the station's elaborate mosaic tile walls were covered over with 8-by-16-inch (20 by 41 cm) white cinderblock tiles. The latter change, which was also made to 15 other stations on the BMT Broadway and Fourth Avenue Lines, was criticized for being dehumanizing. The NYCTA spokesman stated that the old tiles were in poor condition and that the change was made to improve the appearance of stations and provide uniformity. Furthermore, it did not consider the old mosaics to have "any great artistic merit".[31]
Culver Viaduct renovation
In 2007, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) announced a three-year renovation project of the elevated Culver Viaduct.[32] The work area covers from south of Carroll Street to north of Ditmas Avenue. For Phase 2A of the project, a temporary platform was built over the southbound express track to allow northbound trains to stop at the station. The platform was then removed for Phase 2B. For Phase 3A a temporary platform was built over the northbound express track to allow southbound trains to stop. Reconstruction of the Fourth Avenue station was completed in April 2013. As part of the project, the arch bridge over Fourth Avenue was restored with the elimination of billboards and the removal of paint over the windows.[33] The station received a public address system as part of the project. In addition, the MTA reopened the east station house to the station, after it had been closed for over 40 years.[34]
Before 2009, G service terminated at Smith–Ninth Streets, one stop to the north.[35] Terminating southbound trains used the switches just west of Fourth Avenue to enter the southbound express tracks. After being stored on the southbound express track, the G trains would start their Queens-bound runs by using the switches to enter the northbound local track.[36] The switches were taken out of regular service in 2009, when the viaduct's reconstruction started and the G was extended to Church Avenue.[37][35]

Fourth Avenue is a local station on the IND Culver Line that has four tracks and two side platforms.[42] It is one of the only two elevated stations in the original IND system.[43]:3 The platforms are the IND's usual length of 660 feet (200 m), and the width of the platforms is 16 feet (4.9 m).[44] Both platforms have tan brick windscreens and column-less cantilevered windscreens along their entire lengths except for a small portion of the west (railroad north) end. Above Fourth Avenue, the platform walls consist of massive steel arches with glass panes; each arch is anchored between two limestone-and-brick piers, one on either side of the arch. Running along the top of the arches are straight brick piers with patterns.[43]:3 The windows were formerly painted over, and billboards affixed to the outside of each arch; these were removed in the 2012 renovation.[45][46]
The station has a crew quarters structure over both platforms which is constructed of buff brick with evidence of covered windows. These structures contain granite bases. Characteristic of the Art Deco style, the crew quarters towers contain small setbacks. Repeating chevron designs are located along the center of each tower, while limestone bands are located atop the parapets and setbacks on each tower.[43]:4
This station's fare control area is at street level underneath the platforms and tracks and built within the viaduct's concrete structure.[43]:4 Two staircases from each platform go down to an I-shaped mezzanine[43]:5 (where mosaics reading "MEN" and "WOMEN" for two now-closed restrooms are visible) before three staircases go down to the turnstile bank. Outside fare control, there is a token booth and two sets of entry/exit doors, one to the west side of Fourth Avenue directly underneath the viaduct and the other to the north side of Tenth Street. Both entrances have their original lit-up IND "SUBWAY" sign while mosaic direction tiles reading "To Coney Island" and "To Manhattan" are in the mezzanine.[43]:3–4 Storefronts are located inside the viaduct at ground level.[43]:5
The western fare control area has a single staircase going down to the extreme south end of the Bay Ridge-bound platform of Ninth Street on the BMT Fourth Avenue Line. The extreme east (railroad south) ends of each platform have a single staircase going down to the entrance to the east side of Fourth Avenue underneath the viaduct at ground level. Another staircase from this eastern landing goes down to the Manhattan-bound platform of Ninth Street. The staircase and mezzanine areas have yellow-tiled walls, with tile accents of green.[43]:5
West of this station was a short stub-end reversing spur entered only from this station. It remained level between the two express tracks while the other tracks ramped up toward Smith–Ninth Streets. The track was removed during overhaul of the Culver Viaduct from 2007 to 2013.[47][48] East of this station, the line enters a tunnel toward Seventh Avenue.[42] That station is underground, but at a higher altitude than this elevated station due to the steep slope of the land (hence the neighborhood name of Park Slope).[33]
Service patterns
The station was originally served by the A train. In 1936, the A was rerouted to the IND Fulton Street Line and was replaced by E trains from the Queens Boulevard Line.[24] In 1937, the connection to the IND Crosstown Line opened and GG (later renamed the G) trains were extended to Church Avenue, complementing the E. In December 1940, after the IND Sixth Avenue Line opened, E trains were replaced by the F, and the GG was cut back to Smith–Ninth Streets.[24] Following the completion of the Culver Ramp in 1954,[49][50] D Concourse Express trains replaced F service to Coney Island.[50][51] In November 1967, the Chrystie Street Connection opened and D trains were rerouted via the Manhattan Bridge and the BMT Brighton Line to Coney Island. F trains were extended once again via the Culver Line.[51][52]
The station acted as a local-only station from 1968 to 1976, when F trains ran express in both directions between Bergen Street and Church Avenue during rush hours.[53] G trains were extended from Smith–Ninth Streets to Church Avenue to provide local service.[54][20] Express service between Bergen and Church ended in 1976 due to budgetary concerns and passenger complaints, and the GG, later renamed the G, was again terminated at the Smith–Ninth Streets station.[54][20][55]
In July 2009, the G was extended from its long-time terminus at Smith–Ninth Streets to a more efficient terminus at Church Avenue to accommodate the rehabilitation of the Culver Viaduct.[54][35] The G extension was made permanent in July 2012.[56] In July 2019, the MTA revealed plans to restore express service on the Culver Line between Jay Street and Church Avenue. Express service started on September 16, 2019.[57][58]

Ninth Street on the BMT Fourth Avenue Line is a local station that has four tracks and two side platforms.[42] White tiled curtain walls separate the express tracks from the local tracks.[60]
Beige columns run along both platforms at the station's northern end where they were extended in 1970. The ceiling is lower in this section.[61]
Prior to the station's 1970 renovation, it was finished all in white and marble tile, and it had its own color scheme to allow regular passengers to identify the station based only on the color of the marble trimmings.[8] Since the renovation, the station walls have consisted of white cinderblock tiles, except for small recesses in the walls, which contain yellow-painted cinderblock tiles. The yellow cinderblock field contains the station-name signs and black text pointing to the exits.[62]
Each platform has one same-level fare control area in the middle. The one on the Manhattan-bound platform has a turnstile bank, token booth, and one staircase going up to the northeast corner of Ninth Street and Fourth Avenue. This fare control area still has the station's original trim line with "9" tablets at regular intervals.[63] The fare control area on the Bay Ridge-bound platform is unstaffed, containing one High Entry/Exit Turnstile, one exit-only turnstile, a row of four low turnstiles, and a staircase to the northwest corner of Ninth Street and Fourth Avenue.[64] A small section of the original trim line is visible here as well.
At the extreme south end of both platforms, staircases lead up to exit/entrance areas at street level.[43]:5 The exit/entrance area on the Manhattan-bound (eastern) side of the station was closed for around 40 years before being reopened in February 2012.[46] On each side, staircases go up to either of the IND platforms at Fourth Avenue.[43]:5
