Englewood Avenue station

Englewood Avenue station is a light rail station on the MBTA Green Line C branch located in the median of Beacon Street just west of Englewood Avenue in Brookline, Massachusetts. The station consists of two low side platforms which serve the C branch's two tracks. Englewood Avenue is not accessible.

Track work in 2018–19, which included replacement of platform edges at several stops, triggered requirements for accessibility modifications at those stops. [2] In May 2024, the Federal Transit Administration awarded the MBTA $67 million to construct accessible platforms at 14 B and C branch stops including Englewood Avenue. [3] Design work for Englewood Avenue and Tappan Street was 100% complete by September 2025. [4] Designs shown in September 2025 called for the outbound platform to be widened and rebuilt at its current location and the inbound platform to be shifted to the east of the Englewood Avenue intersection. [5] Construction is expected to begin in October 2025 and be complete in May 2026. [6]
