NEWTON, MA There is an $8 million effort underway to make the D Branch the first fully accessible branch on the Green Line. Thursday, the MBTA is hosting a meeting to share the preliminary design and get input from Newton commuters.
The Green Line Transformation program is hosting its virtual public meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday.
The project aims to improve accessibility the Waban, Eliot, Chestnut Hill and Beaconsfield stations along the D Branch of the Green Line MBTA where riders with mobility challenges have to navigate low platforms and problematic - if inaccessible- track crossings.

Beginning Saturday, April 17, riders on the MBTA Green Line B Branch will trade short-term disruption for long-term gain.
The T will speed up its Green Line B Branch Station Consolidation Project along the West Campus stretch of Commonwealth Avenue by shutting down trolley service between Washington Street and Kenmore Square for a total of seven weeks this spring, so construction crews can work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Shuttle buses will replace trolley service.
The good news is that the project consolidating four West Campus T stops into two along Comm Ave should finish months early, according to Angel Peña, chief of the MBTA’s ongoing Green Line Transformation. The T will specify completion only in “late 2021,” but that’s a jump forward from the original February 2022 target.

This story was updated February 9 to include the names of the new stations.
The MBTA’s Green Line B Branch Station Consolidation Project along the West Campus stretch of Commonwealth Avenue begins in earnest on February 15, with night and weekend trolley service shifting to shuttle buses over the following three weeks.
The $29 million project, part of the ongoing Green Line Transformation, will consolidate four stops BU West, St. Paul Street, Pleasant Street, and Babcock Street into two larger, significantly improved ones, with new lighting, signage, and shelters and better accessibility. The new stations will be named Babcock Street (between the current Babcock and Pleasant stations) and Amory Street (between St. Paul and BU West)
