Out: The area near the Queensbridge stop suddenly has a number of people around, which is strange after walking the near-empty streets in the part of L.I.C. between here and the 39 Ave. stop on the N/W. There are a few stores here, an auto body shop, and some big brick housing projects. Most of the people around are black with a few Hispanic.
In: The entrance this station is all brick, as are the walls of the mezzanine. There is a very large upper level with an escalator down to the platform level. Half the platform level has a very high clearance with green panels as part of the ceiling; part of the platform has a concrete ceiling at a more typical height. The walls have brown paneling, and the station signs are inset into the panels. This station resembles one of the indoor MUNI stations in San Francisco . There are some large circular metal columns near the platform, and there is a large metal structure as part of the track separator. The layout is two platform, two track, with only local access.
