This is a rendering of the entrance to the Smith-9th Street station, which is slated to be closed for more than a year for renovations. A redone station is supposed to reopen in 2011, but we haven’t seen any recent timetables, so it’s unclear if the original estimate is accurate any longer. We found this rendering in some of the documentation for the Red Hook Bicycle Master Plan Design Competition. The Smith-9th redesign is part of the project to rehabilitate the Culver Viaduct, which is the elevated portion of the F Line running between Carroll Street and Fourth Avenue. It is badly deteriorated.
