Location

Eliot station is a light rail station on the MBTA Green Line D branch located just north of Route 9 (Boylston Street) between the Newton Highlands and Newton Upper Falls villages of Newton, Massachusetts. The station has a parking lot at the end of Lincoln Street, a pedestrian entrance from Meredith Avenue, and pedestrian entrances from both sides of Route 9. A footbridge, built in 1977, crosses Route 9 adjacent to the railroad bridge.

In 2019, the MBTA indicated that the four remaining non-accessible stops on the D branch were "Tier I" accessibility priorities.^[3] A preliminary design contract for accessibility modifications at the four stations was issued in February 2021.^[4][5] Design reached 75% in June 2022 and was completed late that year.^[6][7] Plans shown in March 2024 called for the platforms to be rebuilt in their existing configuration.^[8]

By November 2023, construction was expected to be advertised in early 2024 and begin midyear.^[9] However, in June 2024, the MBTA indicated that the renovations at the four stations would be done in two phases. The first phase – sections of accessible platform similar to those previously installed at Newton Highlands, and some entrances made accessible – was expected to be complete by the end of the year.^[10] Work began in October 2024.^[11] The full renovations are expected to take place in 2027 to serve new Type 10 vehicles.^[12]
