Tour
NEW CONEY ISLAND TERMINAL
Sunday, April 25, 12 Noon
When the BMT’s Stillwell Avenue Terminal was constructed in 1919, it became the gateway for urban adventurers seeking excitement at the beaches and amusement parks at Coney Island. Even then the new technologies of the subway—complex switches and signals—made Stillwell a state-of-the-art transit hub. Since then millions of subway riders have passed through the elegant elevated structure. Now undergoing a dramatic renovation, the “new” terminal will again lead the way with state-of-the-art systems, especially the photovoltaic cells that will provide 250,000 kilowatt hours of clean electrical power each year. Consulting Architect Greg Kiss, of Kiss + Cathcart, Architects, will lead this fascinating tour.
