Chiswick Road is a station on the MBTA's Green Line "B" Branch located in Brighton, Boston, Massachusetts. The station is located at the intersection of Commonwealth Avenue and Chiswick Road. 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 20 April 2004,[3] a set of closures made permanent on 15 March 2005.<ref name="drops">
