The station is located at grade with an
island platform and two tracks. All staircases go up to overpasses at both ends of the station.
Exits The north entrance leads to
Victory Boulevard, where an overpass leads west to Bay Street and east to
Joseph H. Lyons Pool. There is a parking lot adjacent to the southbound track at Victory Boulevard. The shop was repaired in the 1990s, with the contract awarded in May 1994 for $1,969,777. As part of the project, a addition was made to the facility, the existing freight house was demolished, the interior of the shop building was renovated, and the area in front of the building was paved. The Victory Boulevard pedestrian overpass was replaced in 1999. Because one-fifth of passengers transferring to the
Staten Island Ferry used to exit or enter at Tompkinsville to avoid paying the fare at
St. George (located away), it was estimated that the Staten Island Railway was losing $3.4 million a year due to
fare avoidance. Therefore, the
Metropolitan Transportation Authority closed the Victory Boulevard entrance on August 28, 2008. A new $6.9 million station house was built, which included turnstiles for both entering and exiting customers; it opened on January 20, 2010. The Hannah Street entrance on the station's south end closed on the same day and is now used only for emergencies. ==References==
