Location

Track work in 2018–19, which included replacement of platform edges at several stops, triggered requirements for accessibility modifications at those stops.^[2] Dean Road was the only non-accessible C Branch stop not included in these plans.^[3] Designs shown in February 2024 included Dean Road and called for both platforms to be shifted to the far side of the intersection.^[4] In May 2024, the Federal Transit Administration awarded the MBTA $67 million to construct accessible platforms at 14 B and C branch stops including Dean Road.^[5] As of June 2024^[update], construction is expected to be complete in fall 2026.^[6]
