Senator Brownsberger hosted a public meeting on October 23 at which MBTA personnel outlined a proposal to consolidate four Green Line stops along Commonwealth Avenue. The project would turn BU West, St. Paul, Babcock, and Pleasant into two fully accessible stations to help reduce travel times and improve safety.
Approximately 60 members of the public attended and provided feedback on the proposal. We provide the meeting comments and questions here.

Consolidation of stops is a good idea, this project must be planned and scheduled simultaneously with the roadway project.In addition a plea to preserve the few remaining Olmsted era elms near Sullivan Tire.
Thank you for the website.
Well taken points!
Consolidation of the stops makes a lot of sense to me.
