The western stair led to the intersection of Grove Street and Newark Avenue and a simple kiosk underneath the Pennsylvania Railroad's mainline viaduct, which ran above what is now Christopher Columbus Drive.

As part of the reconstruction, the eastern and western exits were closed in favor of a mezzanine situated in a triangle formed by the intersections of Grove Street, Newark Avenue, and Columbus Drive.

[3] As a result of an increase in ridership, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) reopened the easterly exit and built a second kiosk at the corner of Columbus Drive and Marín Boulevard.

[4] In September 2011, a federal judge found that it was technically feasible to do so and ordered the PANYNJ to make the station accessible.

[13] The Port Authority put the contract to extend the platform out to bid on January 28, 2020, and expected the cost of the project to be between $15 and $20 million.
