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 has no bus connections and 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 Tappan Street. [3] Design work for Tappan Street and Englewood Avenue was 100% complete by September 2025. [4] Designs shown in September 2025 called for the Tappan Street platforms to be widened and rebuilt at their current locations. [5] Construction is expected to begin in October 2025 and be complete in May 2026. [6]
