Van Siclen Avenue is a skip-stop station on the BMT Jamaica Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of Fulton Street and Van Siclen Avenue in Brooklyn, it is served by the Z train during rush hours, and by the J train other times.
This station was rehabilitated in Summer-Fall 2006. The canopy is short and has a squared off, flat roofline. There is a center mezzanine under the tracks with wooden floors and walls. This mezzanine is actually to the geographic south of the northbound track.
An artwork called The View from Here by Barbara Ellman will be installed in 2007.
