Griggs Street station serves as a light rail stop on the MBTA Green Line B branch. It is located within the median between the southbound lanes and the adjacent frontage road of Commonwealth Avenue at Griggs Street in the Allston neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. Currently, this station does not offer accessible features. The layout includes two side platforms positioned just before a pedestrian crossing, accommodating two tracks. Prior to approximately 2017, the stop was identified as Griggs Street/Long Avenue.

During the 2018–19 track renovation period, platform edge replacements were performed at multiple stations—though Griggs Street was excluded—which triggered the need for accessibility improvements at those sites. In 2021, planning efforts commenced to upgrade five stops along the B Branch. By 2024, Griggs Street along with other remaining non-accessible stations on the B Branch were incorporated into this initiative. As of February 2025, the MBTA intends to release a $74 million design-build contract for bidding in May 2025, with construction anticipated to begin in fall 2025 and conclude by mid-2027.
