Amory Street station is a light rail stop on the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) Green Line B branch, located in the median of Commonwealth Avenue in the west part of the Boston University campus. The accessible station has two side platforms serving the line's two tracks, with access at Amory Street and St. Paul Street. It opened on November 15, 2021, replacing the former Boston University West and St. Paul Street stations as part of a station consolidation project.

History

Streetcars at St. Paul Street in 1965

The West End Street Railway built a new streetcar line in the median of Commonwealth Avenue in the mid-1890s. Service began between on the new tracks Governors Square to Union Square on May 18, 1896.[1][2][3]: 48  The route was extended to Nonantum Square on existing tracks later that year; it began using the Tremont Street subway on November 8, 1897.[3]: 48 [4] The Boston Elevated Railway (BERy) leased the West End Street Railway on October 1, 1897, and continued its system expansion.[3]: 35  The BERy opened new tracks on Commonwealth Avenue from Chestnut Hill Avenue to Brighton Avenue on May 26, 1900, allowing direct service from Lake Street to downtown via Commonwealth Avenue.[3]: 58  The Nonantum Square line was extended to Watertown Yard in 1912, forming the service pattern for the next half-century.[5]

The BERy was succeeded by the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) in 1947; the MTA in turn was succeeded by the MBTA in 1964. The MBTA designed the remaining streetcar lines as the Green Line in 1965; in 1967, the Watertown line became the Green Line A branch, with the Lake Street (Boston College) line becoming the B branch. A branch service ended on June 21, 1969, leaving only the B branch on Commonwealth Avenue.[6] By 1972, stops with small platforms were located at Amory Street (later called Boston University West) and St. Paul Street, about 550 feet (170 m) apart.[7]

As part of the MBTA's Arts on the Line program, six new station signs at Boston University West were installed in 2010 featuring illustrations by BU College of Fine Arts graduate Andy Bell.[8] Previously, in 2006, the signs had featured "Open Space", an exhibition of cloudscapes by undergraduate Seth Gadsden.[9] Both installations were collaborations between the MBTA and the College of Fine Arts, which was located adjacent to the station.

Stop consolidation

Boston University West station in 2018

In 2014, the MBTA began planning to consolidate four stops - Boston University West, St. Paul Street, Pleasant Street, and Babcock Street - located near Boston University's West Campus. The four stops, which were not accessible, were to be turned into two fully accessible stops as part of a reconfiguration of Commonwealth Avenue between the Boston University Bridge and Packard's Corner.[10] Boston University West and St. Paul Street were to be consolidated into one station in the block between Amory Street and St. Paul Street.[11]

Work was delayed by the need to complete other roadwork on Commonwealth Avenue.[12] The MBTA awarded a $17.8 million construction contract on March 23, 2020.[13] Construction was to last from February 2021 to early 2022, with night and weekend bustitution for much of 2021.[14] In February 2021, the MBTA announced that the new stop replacing Boston University West and St. Paul Street would be named Amory Street.[15] Buses replaced rail service between Washington Street and Kenmore from April 17–May 9 and May 17–June 13, 2021, allowing for construction of the new platforms and canopy steelwork.[16][17]

Boston University West and St. Paul Street stations were closed at the end of service on Friday, November 12, 2021. After a weekend closure, Amory Street station opened on November 15.[18]
