This underground station is located on the street of the same name, which is the boundary of SoHo and Tribeca. Lying within a block of three different pocket parks (St. John's Park, Duane Park, and Cavala Park), the station sits at the entrance to the Holland Tunnel outside of the Tribeca North Historic District.[2] Much of the surrounding area is characterized by its historic loft architecture.
Like all stations on the IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line south of 34th Street – Penn Station, Canal Street opened on July 1, 1918 as part of a southwestern expansion of the line to the South Ferry loop station. (That station has been replaced by another with the same name.) The station was renovated in 1992 by MTA New York City Transit's in-house staff.
This station has two side platforms and four tracks, numbered 1 to 4 from west to east, with center tracks 2 and 3 serving the 2 and 3 express trains that bypass the station during daytime hours. The platforms are mildly offset and there is evidence of a sealed crossunder on both of them. Fare control is on platform level for both sides with entrances on both sides of Varick Street on the northern side of Canal Street.
