The next three stations feature a series or art glass mosaics entitled “Q is for Queens” By Yumi Heo, installed in 1999.. It took some doing, but all 28 were found! (All of the letters plus two more pieces were found!) These three were all renovated by NYCT in house contract. These stations are on a concrete viaduct. In the case with the stations having  dual names, the name that appears after the numbered street represents the original street name before a massive conversion from named streets to numbered streets took place. The exceptions are 74^th Street -Broadway, where Broadway runs differently than 74^th Street and 82^nd Street-Jackson Heights where the name represents the neighborhood instead of the original street name of 82^nd Street.

The next three stations feature an artwork entitled Q is for Queens. For more information on the art click this link.
