Exits

The southeastern exit has a station house crossunder and has two street stairs that lead to the northern and western corners of Kossuth Place, Patchen Avenue, and Lafayette Avenue, just east of Kosciuszko Street.[5] The northwestern exit is an emergency exit only with a closed station house, leading to DeKalb Avenue. This entrance was closed in the 1980s due to high crime.[6][7] The closed entrance is about a block from the northern terminus of the B46 Select Bus Service at DeKalb Avenue.
