  • From Wikipedia:
    "Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue/74th Street (or simply Jackson Heights or 74th Street-Roosevelt) is a New York City Subway station complex served by the IRT Flushing Line and the IND Queens Boulevard Line. Located at the triangle of 74th Street, Broadway, and Roosevelt Avenue in Jackson Heights, Queens, it is served by the:
    7, E, and F trains at all times
    R train at all times except late nights
    M train weekdays except late nights
    The elevated IRT Flushing Line station opened on April 21, 1917, as part of an extension of the line from Queensboro Plaza to 103rd Street-Corona Plaza under the Dual Contracts. The IND Queens Boulevard Line station opened on August 19, 1933, as part of the IND Queens Boulevard Line's initial segment, from the 50th Street station in Manhattan to Jackson Heights in Queens. Upon the opening of the Queens Boulevard Line station, a transfer between the two lines was implemented. The station was the Queens Boulevard Line's terminus from 1933 until an extension east to Union Turnpike opened on December 31, 1936. An uncompleted upper level station was also built along with the completed lower level station. The construction of the new Roosevelt Avenue complex led to increased demand for housing in the area. It also inspired plans for a proposed shopping mall nearby, which was ultimately not built.
    The Victor Moore Arcade, a streamlined local landmark where passengers could transfer from the new IND subway to buses for distant neighborhoods and for LaGuardia Airport, officially opened on December 11, 1941. The two-story bus terminal and arcade, located at the triangle formed by Broadway, Roosevelt Avenue, and 75th Street, also featured a shopping area. The structure was named after Victor Moore, a notable Broadway actor and Queens resident who had appealed to build a bus terminal in his name along Broadway and near the station. It served as a hub for the operations of Triboro Coach.
    On May 2, 1970, an out-of-service GG train collided with another GG train in revenue service on the Queens Boulevard Line. The revenue-service train was switching from the southbound express track to the local track (it had been rerouted around the out-of-service train). Two people died and 71 were injured in the worst subway collision since the 1928 Times Square derailment. Following the 1970 accident, New York Magazine highlighted the state of the subway system in a lengthy exposé, in which it concluded that the subway's condition was getting worse compared to previous years.
    Construction on a new station building at that site began in 2001 and completed in 2005, based on a design by Stantec. During the renovation, the bus terminal was closed; the Flushing Line platforms and the bus terminal were completely rebuilt; and the Queens Boulevard Line platforms were refurbished by construction firm Skanska for a total cost of $132 million."

    Good video. Both of my Roosevelt/Jackson/VMA videos from the 1990s include the Men's toilet though which you missed! Before 1966 there was a paper transfer between divisions. Then until the late 70s the transfer building had only a down stairway and a single up escalator. Later a second escalator was added in an extension of the building that was a perfect match architecturally. Then later a THIRD escalator was added and the down stairway was narrowed. Then later than that, the center mezzanine of the el station was converted and connected to the subway with the two narrow escalators. Then years later around 2006 the Victor Moore Arcade was demolished and replaced with a new building and new el platforms and stairs and elevators. The facility is still inadequate because our fractured government is incapable of serving the people and expand the number of subway lines. As a result many households in Queens bought second and third cars. Once that happened the political constituency for more transit funding diluted. Also after years of my silent prayers, DOT did something about the street gridlock in this area by prohibiting street parking in the peak hours. After a few months the local business people cried loudly enough that much of the new parking regs were rescinded.
