Kent Street station is a light rail surface stop on the MBTA Green Line C branch, located in the median of Beacon Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. The two side platforms are staggered on opposite sides of the Kent Street / Powell Street grade crossing; the outbound platform is to the east and the inbound platform to the west. Kent Street is not accessible.
Track work in 2018–19, which included replacement of platform edges at several stops, triggered requirements for accessibility modifications at those stops.[2] Design work for Kent Street and seven other C Branch stations was 15% complete by December 2022.[3] As of November 2023[update], construction is expected to take place from mid-2025 to spring 2026.[4] Plans shown in February 2024 called for Kent Street station to be closed, as it is just 830 feet (250 m) from both St. Paul Street and Hawes Street stations.[5]
