The Kosciuszko Street station is a local station on the BMT Jamaica Line of the New York City Subway. It is served by the J train at all times. The Z train skips this station when it operates.
This elevated station has two side platforms and three tracks; the center express track is not used in regular service.
The artwork here is called Euphorbias by Ronald Calloway and has a floral theme.[2]
The station has exits on both the west (railroad north) end and the east (railroad south) end of its platforms.
On the east 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 Kossuth Place, Patchen Avenue, Lafayette Avenue, and Broadway, just east of Kosciuszko Street.[3]
The western exits are now emergency exits leading to both eastern corners of DeKalb Avenue and Broadway. These exits were closed in the 1980s due to high crime.[4] [5] The closed entrance is about a block from the northern terminus of the B46 Select Bus Service at DeKalb Avenue. There is a closed station house around the intermediate level of the staircases.
