Tappan Street station

Tappan Street station is a light rail station on the MBTA Green Line C branch, located in the median of Beacon Street east of Tappan Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. The station consists of two side platforms which serve the C branch's two tracks. Tappan Street is not accessible; a reconstruction for accessibility is planned for 2026.

Reconstruction

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 Tappan 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 Tappan Street. [4] The MBTA awarded a $41.9 million design-build contract in April 2025. [5] Design work for Tappan Street and Englewood Avenue was complete by September 2025, with the Tappan Street platforms to be widened and rebuilt at their current locations. [6] As of December 2025, construction is expected to take place from spring 2026 to fall 2026. Tappan Street and Englewood Avenue are planned to be the first to be completed. [7]
