Saint Paul Street station
Saint Paul Street station functions as a surface-level light rail stop on the MBTA Green Line C branch. It is situated within the median of Beacon Street at the intersection with Saint Paul Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. The station features two staggered side platforms alongside the dual tracks; the inbound platform lies to the west of the crossing, while the outbound platform is positioned to the east.
During track maintenance conducted in 2018–19, which included replacing platform edges, requirements for accessibility enhancements were triggered.[1] By December 2022, preliminary design efforts for Saint Paul Street and seven additional stations along the C Branch had reached approximately 15% completion.[2] Proposed designs from February 2024 suggest relocating both platforms to the far side of the Saint Paul Street intersection.[3]
In May 2024, the Federal Transit Administration granted $67 million to the MBTA to fund accessible platform construction at fourteen stops across the B and C branches, with Saint Paul Street included among them.[4] Construction activities are anticipated to conclude by fall 2026 as of June 2024.[5]
