Saint Paul Street station

Saint Paul Street station is a light rail surface stop on the MBTA Green Line C branch, located in the median of Beacon Street at Saint Paul Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. The station has two staggered side platforms, serving the C branch's two tracks; the inbound platform is to the west of the intersection, and the outbound platform to the east.

Track work in 2018–19, which included replacement of platform edges at several stops, triggered requirements for accessibility modifications at those stops. [2] Design work for Saint Paul Street and seven other C Branch stations was 15% complete by December 2022. [3] In May 2024, the Federal Transit Administration awarded the MBTA $67 million to construct accessible platforms at 14 B and C branch stops including Saint Paul Street. [4] The MBTA awarded a $41.9 million design-build contract in April 2025. [5] Designs shown in February 2026 called for the inbound platform to be shifted to the far side of the intersection. As of February 2026, construction is expected to take place from spring 2026 to fall 2026. [6]
