Yellow tactile treads on both platforms' edges were installed in 2015. Also, one of the staircases on the southbound side is walled off, making only one staircase available to the southbound side. A passageway leading to an exit at West 47th Street and Broadway was also added after the renovation. Additional false brick tiles were added some time after the 1973 renovation, indicating the presence of a station facility.
