History
editThe station was built along the line of the former Central Railroad of Long Island. The station opened in 1907. It was instead built by the former village of Garden City Estates, which was merged with Garden City in 1915.[4][need quotation to verify] In the early 2000s, the station underwent renovations, including installation of ramps. A pedestrian tunnel exists at the station.
Station layout
editThe station has two slightly offset high-level side platforms, each 10 cars long. The station is near Adelphi University. There is parking at the station by local permit only. The pedestrian tunnel entrances resemble the former tunnel for nearby Stewart Manor station.[5][6]
