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] Design work for Englewood Avenue and seven other C Branch stations was 15% complete by December 2022.[3] Designs shown in February 2024 called for the inbound platform to be shifted to the east side of the intersection.[4] 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.[5] As of June 2024[update], construction is expected to be complete in fall 2026.[6]
