E-Branch Accessibility and Multimodal Corridor Improvements

We're working with the MBTA and the community to design urgent upgrades to accessibility and reliability on the Green Line E-Branch from Brigham's Circle to Heath Street. 

Toggle
Page Sections

The City of Boston is working with the MBTA, other agencies, and you and your neighbors to design accessible Green Line boarding platforms on Huntington and South Huntington Avenues to provide safe and barrier-free access to transit. This will enable E Branch riders to board trains without stepping into the middle of the street, and will allow for the operation of the MBTA's new Green Line trains by 2027. Building on the goals outlined in GoBoston 2030 for Huntington Avenue and South Huntington Avenue from Brigham Circle to Heath Street, this project also seeks to improve safety on the roadway for all users, and meet our commitments for safe pedestrian and bicycle facilities.

Accessibility

We will ensure all transit riders can wait comfortably at their bus stops and board the bus and train safely. This includes accessibility for people with disabilities and users of mobility devices.

Reliability

We will design infrastructure and signal improvements to help buses and trains run on schedule and provide transit service that you can rely on.

Safety

We will improve safety and make changes to the roadway to reduce the likelihood of serious crashes on this street. We will make Huntington Ave. and South Huntington Ave. safer and friendlier streets for vulnerable road users.

Project Goals

Huntington and South Huntington Avenue is a transit priority corridor for the City of Boston, serving some of Boston’s densest neighborhoods.  Today, E-Branch stops from Brigham's Circle to Heath Street present safety and accessibility challenges for riders.  Trains share the center lanes with cars, and passengers must get on and off the train in the middle of the road. These conditions along Huntington and South Huntington Aves make these streets both less safe and reliable for people biking, walking, driving, and taking transit.

The City of Boston and the MBTA are working together to enable accessible boarding on the E-Branch of the Green Line and make these streets safer for the whole neighborhood.  We want to hear your thoughts on transportation, public space, and safety. Whether your trips are made on foot, by bike, by car, or on a bus, we want to hear from you. Please join our email list to stay updated on meetings, progress reports, and presentations.
