Washington Street is a surface stop on the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA)'s Green Line "B" Branch, located in Brighton, Boston. The station is located in the median of Commonwealth Avenue northeast of Washington Street. Washington Street station consists of two side platforms, which serve the "B" Branch's two tracks. The station is fully handicapped accessible.

History

From October 27, 1926 to January 23, 1953, a passing siding was in place just east of Washington Street. It was occasionally used to short turn trains.[2]

Washington Street is the fifth-busiest "B" Branch surface station (after Harvard Avenue, Packards Corner, Boston University Central, and Warren Street), and has a circumferential bus connection, making it an important transfer point and a priority to retrofit for handicapped accessibility. The station was rebuilt with slightly raised platforms in 2001-02 to allow level boarding onto the new Type 8 trams. Construction began in November 2001, with completion of the project in October 2002.[3][4] Delays in construction caused cascading delays to similar renovations at Boston University East and Boston University Central.[5] During construction, temporary platforms south of Washington Street were used.

Washington Street is one of only five surface stations on the branch that is handicapped accessible, along with Boston University East, Boston University Central, Harvard Avenue, and the branch terminus at Boston College.[1]
