Christopher St-Sheridan Sq
Christopher Street-Sheridan Square is a local stop on the IRT 7 Avenue Subway with two side platforms for the four-track line and no free change of direction transfer. The PATH train's tubes cross under the subway platforms while they run under Christopher Street with the PATH's Christopher Street station about a five minute walk west of the station between Hudson and Greenwich Streets, closer to the Hudson River. This connection is not advertised by the NYC Subway or PATH.
The platforms have pink trimlines with blue and green boarders and depictions of the old State Penitentiary at West 10th St for the station image. The name tablets say Christoper St-Sheridan Square on two separate lines in an off white color on a green background, with blue borders. The station was renovated in 1995 a plaque commemorates.
Each platform has a single exit in its midsection. The uptown platforms turnstiles across across from the stops only remaining token booth and lead to a single wide street stair in a tiny triangle formed by 7 Avenue South, West 4 Street, and Grove Street, across from the small patch of green that is Sheridan Square.
The downtown platform has unstaffed turnstiles leading to a total of four streetstairs up two to each up to the NW and SW corners of Christopher Street and 7 Avenue South.
