Exits
The station has exits on both the west (railroad north) end and the east (railroad south) end of its platforms. However, and despite the station's name, the eastern exits to Chauncey Street are no longer open.
On the west end, each platform has a single staircase leading to an elevated station house beneath the tracks. It has a turnstile bank and token booth. Outside fare control, two staircases lead to both western corners of Rockaway Avenue and Broadway.[1]
The eastern exits are now emergency exits leading to both the north and south sides of Broadway just west of Marion and Chauncey Streets. These exits were closed in the 1980s due to high crime.[2][3] There is a closed station house around the intermediate level of the staircases.
