• All great!! :)

Lead

• Just a suggestion: "It has two tracks and one island platform, with two levels of mezzanines—one directly above the platform, the other directly below street level." --> "It has two tracks and one island platform, with two levels of mezzanines: one directly above the platform and the other directly below street level."
  •  Done.
• "It was originally proposed as part of the failed attempt to build the West Side Stadium for the New York Jets and the city's bid for the 2012 Summer Olympics." --> You already mentioned in the previous paragraph that it was part of an attempt for the 2012 Olympics, so please remove this second reference to it
  •  Done.

History

• "began exploring the possibility of a 7 extension to New Jersey.[5]" --> What does "7 extension" mean?
  • Clarified it.
• "In his December 12, 2006, address to the New York League of Conservation Voters noted that in November 2006, the government began issuing bonds to fund the extension of the 7 subway to Eleventh Avenue and 34th Street.[9]" --> "In his December 12, 2006 address to the New York League of Conservation Voters noted that in November 2006, the government began issuing bonds to fund the extension of the 7 subway to Eleventh Avenue and 34th Street.[9]"
  •  Done.
• "In June 2008, construction on the tunnels began along Eleventh Avenue in Manhattan." --> No source.
  • Removed, since it pertains to the 7 Subway Extension article, not here.

Delays

• "Officials had insisted that the Italian-manufactured elevator have software and parts made from a variety of different companies in America, rather than from a single foreign company.[41]" --> "Officials had insisted that the Italian-manufactured elevator(s) had software and parts made from a variety of different companies in America, rather than from a single foreign company.[41]"
  •  Done.

Operations

• Fantastic! By the way, do you live in New York City? Just curious
  • Yes, I do. I live in Queens, as is stated somewhere on my user page, but I can't really find exactly where it says that. Kylo, Rey, & Finn Consortium, now featuring BB-8 (talk) 20:21, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Station layout

• Just a suggestion: "The station has a total of nine escalators from the lower mezzanine to the main entrance, as well as four elevators. Of these, two are vertical elevators—one from street level to the upper mezzanine, and one from the lower mezzanine to platform level." --> "The station has a total of nine escalators from the lower mezzanine to the main entrance, as well as four elevators; of these, two are vertical elevators—one from street level to the upper mezzanine, and one from the lower mezzanine to platform level."
  •  Done.
• Rest is good
  • Thanks!

Entrances and exits

• Any details if the Secondary station will be handicap–accessible?
  • It doesn't look like the second entrance will have an elevator. The sources only mention escalators.
• "The main entrance, located east of the intersection of 34th Street and Eleventh Avenue at Hudson Boulevard, has a turtle shell-shaped glass canopy above it that allows light to shine on the upper mezzanine;[81] The elevator is located east of the northeast corner of Eleventh Avenue and 33rd Street, while the escalator entrance is located between 33rd and 34th Streets, in the middle of the block within Hudson Park in the boulevard." --> "The main entrance, located east of the intersection of 34th Street and Eleventh Avenue at Hudson Boulevard, has a turtle shell-shaped glass canopy above it that allows light to shine on the upper mezzanine;[81] the elevator is located east of the northeast corner of Eleventh Avenue and 33rd Street, while the escalator entrance is located between 33rd and 34th Streets, in the middle of the block within Hudson Park in the boulevard."
  •  Done.

Features

• Nada enchilada; very well-written here!!
  • Thanks!

Track layout

• "The storage tracks at this location were constructed due to the Corona Yard in Queens lacking any space to hold any more trains, and expanding the yard is very difficult due to its location next to the Flushing River." --> No source.
  • Re-used a source from the next sentence.

Projected ridership

• Just a suggestion: "It was reported that only 7,000 daily riders entered the station between September 13–22, 2015,[120] below the MTA's projected ridership of 32,000 passengers upon the station's opening." --> "It was reported that only 7,000 daily riders entered the station between September 13–22, 2015,[120] heavily below the MTA's projected ridership of 32,000 passengers upon the station's opening."
  •  Done (well, somewhat done, anyway). I replaced "heavily" with "drastically".

Effects

• All great! Well done!
  • Thanks again!
