Tappan Street station

Tappan Street station is a light rail station on the MBTA Green Line C branch, located in the median of Beacon Street east of Tappan Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. The station consists of two side platforms which serve the C branch's two tracks. Tappan Street is not accessible; a reconstruction for accessibility is planned for 2026.

Reconstruction

Track work in 2018–19, which included replacement of platform edges at several stops, triggered requirements for accessibility modifications at those stops. Design work for Tappan Street and seven other C Branch stations was 15% complete by December 2022. Designs shown in February 2024 called for the Tappan Street platforms to be widened and rebuilt at their current locations.
In May 2024, the Federal Transit Administration awarded the MBTA $67 million to construct accessible platforms at 14 B and C branch stops including Tappan Street. The MBTA awarded a $41.9 million design-build contract in April 2025. Design work for Tappan Street and Englewood Avenue was complete by September 2025, with the Tappan Street platforms to be widened and rebuilt at their current locations., construction is expected to take place from spring 2026 to fall 2026. Tappan Street and Englewood Avenue are planned to be the first to be completed.
