The station complex underwent another major overhaul from 1999 to 2003, using funds from the 1987 capital program; the $49 million in funding from that program had been delayed in 1994 due to the MTA's budget issues. This time the station received state of the art repairs and was updated for ADA-accessibility, with the installation of eight elevators in the station, as well as the widening or construction of fifteen staircases. The MTA repaired the staircases, re-tiled the walls and floors, upgraded the station's lights and the public address system, installed ADA yellow safety threads along the platform edge, installed new trackbeds for local and express trains entering the IRT station, and widened the 100-year-old passageways between the stations. An escalator was replaced at Hanson Place, the kiosk on Times Plaza was rehabilitated , and a new station entrance was added at Hanson Place. To achieve this, the entire IRT station had to be supported by large crossbeams hanging from the roof of the station box, a construction technique that had never been used previously; the station was also supported by conventional columns from below. The entire feat raised the subway infrastructure under Flatbush Avenue, as well as the avenue itself, by less than an inch while the passageways were widened from . In 2004, the entire station was made a NRHP landmark. Late that year, the MTA installed elevators on both sides of the platform and street level to accommodate wheelchairs and those with disabilities.
