PARK SLOPE, NY — The mezzanine between the Seventh and Eighth avenues entrances to the F and G subways will permanently close next week as part of a $400,000 renovation project to the station, the MTA said.

The agency will shutter the mezzanine — which could be accessed without a MetroCard swipe — on Jan. 23 and move the station agent booth to the Seventh Avenue entrance instead as part of the project aimed to make it easier to get onto the platform.

"This mezzanine closure is part of a project to allow for faster and easier access to the platform level by relocating the station agent booth from the center of the station to the Seventh Avenue side of the station, and adding new additional turnstiles to both the Seventh and Eighth Avenue sides of the station," MTA spokesman Shams Tarek said in a statement.
