Mission Park station

Mission Park station is a light rail stop on the MBTA Green Line E branch, located on Huntington Avenue in the Mission Hill neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.

The station is located on a street running segment of the E branch; trains run in mixed traffic rather than a dedicated median. The station has no platforms; riders wait on the sidewalks (shared with bus stops for the route 39 and 66 buses) and cross the street to reach trains. [2] Because of this, the station is not accessible. [1]

In 2021, the MBTA indicated plans to modify the Heath Street–Brigham Circle section of the E branch with accessible platforms to replace the existing non-accessible stopping locations. [3] The new platforms are planned to be long enough to accommodate two 110-foot (34 m) Type 10 vehicles. Design work began in July 2023. [4] [5] Platforms will be built at Riverway and Mission Park. As of December 2024, design work is expected to be completed in late 2026, with construction taking place in 2027–2029. [6]
