Sutherland Road station

Sutherland Road station is a light rail stop on the MBTA Green Line B branch, located in the median of Commonwealth Avenue at its intersection with Sutherland Road, in Brighton, Boston, Massachusetts. The stop consists of two side platforms, which serve the B branch's two tracks. The platforms are at track level and the stop 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.^[4] Design for Sutherland Road and four other B Branch stops was 30% complete by December 2022.^[5] As of November 2023^[update], construction is expected to begin in spring 2025.^[6] A design shown in March 2024 called for the platforms to be rebuilt at their current locations.^[7]
