96th Street is a local station with two side platforms, located at Lexington Avenue and 96th Street in Harlem; the express tracks run in a lower level. A crossover is provided, with a mosaic in the mezzanine entitled City Suite, commissioned in 1994. New "96th Street" mosaics abound and a window in the mezzanine overlooks the tracks, giving a view of oncoming trains from the south. The south end of the station features a rounded ceiling due to problems encountered during construction.
