The north end has an exit to Prospect Street and a New York City Department of Transportation Park and Ride facility to the west side of the right-of-way (next to Bay Street). The south end exits to Water Street and Bay Street. South of the station, yard tracks can be seen entering the line on the Saint George-bound side. This is the connection to the Clifton Yard, and where the railway cars are moved to and from the New York City Transit Authority system by truck.
