23rd Street is a local station, located at Park Avenue and 23rd Street, with two side platforms and the two express tracks in the middle. It has recently been renovated. The station contains Template:IND (NYCS)-style signs indicating the way to 22nd and 23rd Streets. An ornate fare control grille on the southbound side is actually a piece of artwork entitled Long Division, by artist Valerie Jaudon, which was installed during the station renovations in 1988. The station features a back-lit "23rd Street/Park Avenue South" sign at the platform level fare control. There is a low tiled wall at the 22nd Street end which is probably a remnant of a closed crossunder.
