Location

Hawes Street station is a light rail surface stop on the MBTA Green Line C branch, located in the median of Beacon Street west of Hawes Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. The station consists of two side platforms which serve the C branch's two tracks. With 339 boardings on an average weekday in 2011, Hawes Street has the lowest ridership on the C branch and fourth-lowest on the entire Green Line.^[1]

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 Hawes Street and seven other C Branch stations was 15% complete by December 2022.^[3] Designs shown in February 2024 called for the inbound platform at Hawes Street to be shifted to the east side of the intersection.^[4] In May 2024, the Federal Transit Administration awarded the MBTA $67 million to construct accessible platforms at 14 B and C branch stops including Hawes Street.^[5] As of June 2024^[update], construction is expected to be complete in fall 2026.^[6]
