West 4th St
Lines:
IND Eighth Ave Line
IND Sixth Ave Line
List of closed areas:
West 4th St was built as an express transfer station on the Eighth Avenue Line and the Sixth Avenue Line.
Once containing five exit points, the station has seen multiple areas in it closed off due to high crime rates. The two sets exits from the station's intermediate level mezzanine between the Eighth Avenue Line and the Sixth Avenue Line, which led to the southern corners of Washington Place and Sixth Avenue as well as West 4th Street (the station's namesake) and Sixth Avenue, were completely shuttered in the late 1970s or early 1980s, along with an additional exit from the mezzanine leading to Waverly Place and Sixth Avenue - there is an passage on the opposite side of where the open exit begins that led to Greenwich Avenue and Sixth Avenue.
