History

Until around 2004, the station was listed as Winchester Street to avoid confusion with Summit Avenue stop on the B branch.[2] The B branch stop was closed as part of a pilot program in April 2004 (after which the C branch stop became Summit Avenue) and permanently closed the following March.[3][4][5]

Track work in 2018–19, which included replacement of platform edges at several stops, triggered requirements for accessibility modifications at those stops. As of May 2021^[update], the MBTA expects construction at Summit Avenue and seven other C Branch stations to begin in 2023–24.[6]
