Small station signs underneath the trim line read "BROADWAY" in white lettering on a black background.
One of the icon tiles on the northbound platform was incorrectly spelled as "BRODAWAY"; this mistake may have been part of the station's original tilework.
[12][13] The station has a small mezzanine above the platforms and tracks at the south end, allowing a free transfer between directions.
However, the northern half was closed to the public, and parts of it currently hold offices while the rest of the mezzanine is used for storage space.
However, there is no permanent free transfer between either of those stations and this one, in spite of requests from riders and transit advocacy groups.
[16] A transfer was provided from July 25, 2014, to September 2, 2014, between Lorimer Street and this station, due to the closure of the IND Crosstown Line under the Newtown Creek for tunnel repairs.
In 2010, dozens of street artists created murals on the walls of the unfinished station over the course of 18 months, collectively called "the Underbelly Project", without clearance from the MTA.
Afterwards, the MTA removed access to the transfer passage on the northbound platform at Broadway and replaced dilapidated fencing blocking closed areas with cinderblock walls.
