"Major construction should wrap up by early 2026. Crews are installing a new elevator to make the station fully accessible. They're also widening staircases and making some critical state of good repair improvements. You can track the progress of the 137 St-City College project and many others on the MTA's new and improved Capital Program Dashboard. It can tell you what's being built or replaced, where it's happening, what the budget is, how much has been spent, and when it will be completed."
"We're making the swap to cut down on delays for riders. In this case, we analyzed service data to identify a major chokepoint near Queens Plaza, where E, F and M trains wait to cross over each other before continuing along their routes. Eliminating this merge reduces the time spent sitting at red signals. So, during our busiest hours when the M operates on Queens Boulevard weekdays from 6 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. the F and M lines will permanently swap to help keep trains moving without interruption."
