New proposed design for Brickbottom/Washington St station

Washington St station

The State has released a new design concept for the future Brickbottom/Washington Street Green Line station that was heavily influenced by public comments. A key improvement is that the station is now located along Washington Street.

There is still room for improvement:


  • There should be access to the station from the north side of Washington St. in addition to the south side, since most residents will come from the north side.
  • There should be a connection between the Community Path and the station as well as the street.
  • Bike storage should be closer and larger.

Keep reading for more diagrams of the station.
