Overview of 7 Train Upgrades in Queens

The 7 train line, which connects Flushing to Midtown Manhattan, is undergoing significant upgrades in Queens, including at the 33rd Street–Rawson Street station. These improvements are part of a broader initiative to enhance the subway system's infrastructure and accessibility.

Key Upgrades at 33rd Street–Rawson Street Station

Accessibility Improvements

ADA Compliance:

The station is currently undergoing renovations to become ADA-accessible. This includes the installation of elevators, which is part of a larger $6 billion investment in accessibility across the subway system.

Elevator Installation:

The contract for adding two elevators at the station was awarded in December 2023, with work expected to improve access for all riders.

Structural Enhancements

Temporary Platforms: To accommodate construction, temporary platforms have been set up at the 33rd Street–Rawson Street station, along with other nearby stations.

Service Changes:

As part of the ongoing upgrades, Manhattan-bound 7 trains are skipping the 69th and 52nd Street stations through early 2026. Riders are advised to use nearby stations like 74th Street–Broadway and 61st Street–Woodside during this period.

Timeline and Impact

Construction Duration:

The upgrades are expected to continue into 2026, with various phases of work being coordinated to minimize disruptions.

Customer Experience:

Just weird. Several times per week I happen upon pairs of shoes just sitting off by themselves. Lately I've seen some even in boxes. This is the second instance of shoes being placed out front of this same house. I don't get it.

On August 16, 2025 I shall turn 63. Pretty amazing. I feel really good

Been having my Bengali barber (I live in a small Bengali enclave) shave my head every 3rd Sunday. Feels great. They don't use shaving cream, instead, they massage an oil into your scalp after which they shave it with a straight razor. Really wicked

I live in a very small house, but my windows look out on a very large world.

~ Confucius

Confucius (孔子; pinyin: Kǒngzǐ; lit. 'Master Kong'; c. 551 – c. 479 BCE), born Kong Qiu (孔丘), was a Chinese philosopher of the Spring and Autumn period who is traditionally considered the paragon of Chinese sages. Much of the shared cultural heritage of the Sinosphere originates in the philosophy and teachings of Confucius. His philosophical teachings, called Confucianism, emphasized personal and governmental morality, harmonious social relationships, righteousness, kindness, sincerity, and a ruler's responsibilities to lead by virtue.

I walk everywhere. To work, back home, shopping, wherever. And along many of my walks I happen upon pairs of shoes just sitting off by themselves. It's just so weird and random. As if whomever was wearing them was just whisked away. Beamed up to the Spaceship. Barefooted or in their stocking feet. Perhaps the aliens don't believe in shoes. Or have no need for them...
