St. Marys Street is a surface light rail stop on the MBTA Green Line C branch, located just west of the intersection of Beacon Street and Park Drive in the northeastern tip of Brookline, Massachusetts. Like all surface stops on the line, St Marys Street consists of two side platforms serving two tracks. The station is accessible.
With just over 1,500 daily boardings by a 2011 count, St. Marys Street is the second-busiest stop on the C branch, behind only Coolidge Corner.[1]
History
St. Marys Street is the first outbound surface stop on the C branch. The line emerges from the Beacon Street tunnel at the St. Marys Street portal, just east of the station. Until Kenmore was built in 1932, streetcars emerged from the Kenmore portal and ran down the median of Beacon Street from Kenmore Square.
In the early 2000s, the MBTA modified key surface stops with raised platforms for accessibility. Portable lifts were installed at St. Marys Street around 2000 as a temporary measure.[2][3] The renovation of St. Marys Street - part of a $32 million modification of thirteen B, C, and E branch stations - was completed in 2003.[4][5]
