[5] The platforms were extended in the 1950s to accommodate the current standard B Division train length of 615 feet (187 m).

This station was the southern terminal for M service during rush hours until June 28, 2010.

[7] South of the platforms, two diamond crossovers were used for M trains to relay or be stored on the center track before switching to the Manhattan-bound local one for the trip northbound.

Two staircases from each platform go down to a waiting area/crossover, where a turnstile bank provides access to and from the station.

Outside fare control, there is a token booth and four staircases going down to all corners of Bay Parkway and 86th Street.
