The new head house opened on April 5, 2010 and replaced the underpass and side platforms. The side platforms became office and control space, and the entrances removed to accommodate narrowed sidewalks resulting from the roadway being displaced by the new head house and its island. All of the beige tiles installed in the 1950s were removed and either revealed original tiles or were replaced with new tiles. The elevators opened on November 9, 2010 making the station ADA-accessible. Local residents voiced dissatisfaction with the significant loss of sidewalks adjacent to businesses. Also, the intersection of 96th Street and Broadway is dangerous, making the crossing to the new station entrance "treacherous".
