Intervale Avenue is a local stop on the Lower White Plains Road Elevated Line. It has become the unique egg of the line, as it is the only station left that has corrugated metal windscreens. All other stations on the line have been renovated in the past five years, having all traces of their corrugated metal windscreens removed and replaced by the new green windscreen design. Intervale Avenue hasn't been touched because it was fully rebuilt in the early '90s after an arson fire burned the station mezzanine down on March 15, 1989 as 3 men tried to rob the token booth. The MTA attempted to use the fire as an attempt to close the station permanently (the stations on the White Plains Road Line are very close together), after community uproar the station was fully rebuilt and modernized, re-opening on April 21, 1992*. The modern standards at the time were fully corrugated windscreens that encompass both platforms blocking all views of the surrounding area. Large modern speakers are placed above the windscreens at regular intervals. Lights are of the squarish early '90s design. The station mezzanine has the similar boring design. The station will stand out as the station on the line with corrugated windscreens for years to come.
