Chiswick Road station is a light rail station on the MBTA's Green Line "B" Branch, located in the median of Commonwealth Avenue north of Chiswick Road in the Brighton neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. Chiswick Road consists of two side platforms, which serve the "B" Branch's two tracks.
Proposal for closure
In 2003, Chiswick Road was one of five stops on the "B" Branch proposed for closure, due to having a low average daily ridership and being located quite close to nearby, better-used stops.[2] Chiswick Road was dropped from the proposal shortly after it was announced due to opposition from residents of a local housing project for the elderly served by the stop.[2] The other four stops (Fordham Road, Summit Avenue, Mount Hood Road, and Greycliff Road) were provisionally closed on April 20, 2004, which was made permanent on March 15, 2005.[2][3]
