Accessibility

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. Construction is expected to last from early 2023 to early 2024.[6]
