Brooklyn-Queens Crosstown Local<Classon Avenue

Classon Avenue is a two track, two side platform G station although there is enough room between the two tracks for a center track that was never added that wouldn't platform at the station, and was designed simply to be a storage/siding track as an extension of the third middle track that exists at the Bedford-Nostrand Avenue. This means that the mezzanine is slightly wider than at other G stations. The station has the standard Crosstown Line Green trim line with Classon written in black tile one full tile beneath it. There are green Classon Ave name tables (with tiled exit arrows beneath them all of which say Classon Ave since it's the station’s only exit).

The station is the only stop on the entire IND Crosstown Line that opened with an entrance up to just one intersection. This exit is in the middle of a mezzanine that covers about half-of the length of the platforms. In the middle of the mezzanine streetstairs lead up to the NW, SW, and SE corners of Classon and Lafayette Avenue. Upon reaching a fare control area, a token booth is in the middle of the mezzanine. A fence closes off the dimly lit western half of the mezzanine that is dimly lit and no longer in passenger service. It has two closed, fenced off staircases down to each platform. To enter the subway system is a short bank of turnstiles that leads to the slightly larger, northern half of the mezzanine that is above approximately two car lengths, with two sets of staircases (one significantly closer than the exit than the other) down to each platform.
