Hawes Street station serves as a surface-level light rail stop on the MBTA's Green Line C branch, situated within the median of Beacon Street just west of Hawes Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. This station features two side platforms that accommodate the dual tracks of the C branch. In 2011, it recorded an average of 339 boardings on weekdays, making it the station with the lowest ridership on the C branch and ranking fourth-lowest across the entire Green Line.
During 2018–2019, track maintenance activities, including the replacement of platform edges, prompted requirements for accessibility improvements at multiple stations. By December 2022, design work for Hawes Street along with seven additional C branch stops had reached 15% completion. Proposed plans from February 2024 suggest relocating the inbound platform to a position east of the nearby intersection.
In May 2024, the Federal Transit Administration granted $67 million to the MBTA aimed at constructing accessible platforms at fourteen stations along the B and C branches, with Hawes Street included among them. The construction phase is anticipated to conclude by fall 2026.
