Saint Paul Street station is a light rail stop on the Green Line C branch of the MBTA subway system, 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. Saint Paul Street is not accessible; a reconstruction for accessibility is planned in 2026.

Reconstruction

[edit]
Construction preparation in May 2026

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] Designs shown in February 2024 called for both platforms at Saint Paul Street to be shifted to the far 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 Saint Paul Street.[5]

The MBTA awarded a $41.9 million design-build contract in April 2025.[6] Designs shown in February 2026 called for only the inbound platform to be moved to the far side of the intersection; the outbound platform would remain on the near side.[7] As of March 2026, preliminary construction work is expected to take place in May and August 2026, followed by main construction from October to December 2026.[8]
