Huntington Ave / South Huntington Ave E-Branch Accessibility Project
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.
项目阶段
项目信息
The City of Boston is working with the MBTA to design accessible Green Line boarding platforms on Huntington and South Huntington Avenues. 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 2030. This project also seeks to improve safety on the roadway for all users.

Focus
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.
