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.
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 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, with a full renovation to take place later.[10]
