82 Street-Jackson Heights (7)

82 Street-Jackson Heights is a 7 local station located above Roosevelt Avenue in this shopping district. The stop has the standard design of two side platforms that are canopied and windscreened in their midsections, where the 2 staircases are down from each platform to the station house beneath the tracks, but are left to be exposed to the elements at their ends. The stop has a few unqiue features with large metal 82s on the windscreens between the station house staircases and some colorful panels with odd angular designs on the walls of the station house. The station house has the fare control split design with each staircase leading down to its own turnstile bank, but still connected to each other providing a cross-under still. There is a central area in the station house outside of fare control where the token booth and MVMs are. 3 streetstairs lead out to the NW, NE, and SW corners of 82 Street and Roosevelt Avenue.
