Jefferson Street is a station on the BMT Canarsie Line of the New York City Subway. Located in Brooklyn at the intersection of Jefferson Street and Wyckoff Avenue, it is served by the L train at all times.
The station has a mezzanine with a station attendant at one end and platform-level exits at the other end. Entrances on the mezzanine side can be found at the corner of Starr Street and Wyckoff Avenue, and entrances at the other end of the platform lead to the intersection of Jefferson Street and Wyckoff Avenue.
The mosaic tile bands here are predominantly blue and brown, with yellow and tan accents. New tile was installed at the west exit of the Canarsie-bound platform in the summer of 2000. There is a full frieze of icons with correct details. The colors, however, shift from the earth tones found in the original design, to more pastelized shades of rose, slate blue, yellow and peach. Some of the background tile is mottled, which is unusual for a subway station mosaic. This is a hand-made work, with all of the proper elements, including randomly-cut and set tiles in the center.
