[edit] Name

This is a good example of a situation I described at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject New York City Subway#Station complexes. This station is in Brooklyn Heights and has very little space on The Map for its name, thus the MTA shortens it to "Lawrence Street". On the most of the individual line pages (e.g., [1], [2]), the station is referred to as "Lawrence Street–MetroTech", as well as on the signage. This is part of the MTA's new emphasis on neighborhoods in station names, and an example of where the name on The Map is an unfortunate consequence of lack of space.
