This station has three entrances/exits . The full-time entrance/exit is at the north end above the platforms . Two staircases from each side go up to a mezzanine containing a turnstile bank and station agent 's booth . Outside of fare control , two street stairs go up to the southeastern corner of Wall and Broad Streets . Two more street stairs go up to the southwestern corner of the same intersection and lie outside of the New York Stock Exchange ( NYSE ) . After the September 11 attacks in 2001 , the stair facing away from Wall Street was closed off by the New York City Police Department , which had instituted a security zone around the NYSE . In 2012 , the stair facing towards Wall Street was closed when the security zone was reorganized . In 2017 , the two exits were proposed to be sealed as part of general improvements in that area , but no action was taken . In 2019 , the MTA again proposed permanently closing and removing the stairways to allow the NYSE to improve the streetscape just outside the building
