Fields Corner Station Renovation

Fields Corner station in Dorchester is an intermodal station, serving as a transfer point between the MBTA's Red Line subway and several bus routes. The station provides direct "T" access to the neighborhoods and commercial areas of Geneva and Dorchester Avenues.

The Fields Corner station modernization project has completed demolition of the old station enclosure and the restructuring and lowering of the busway. This reconfiguration facilitates pedestrian-friendly access and has provided a new entrance and busway along the south side of the station. Bus traffic is now routed to enable ride-side platform drop-off and pick-up and easy transfer to the new subway station lobby. The station also includes a new escalator on the inbound platform and two new elevators.

Charles Park along Charles Street has also been renovated with this project and provides a safe, accessible path to the station.

New Automatic Fare Collection equipment has been installed in the lobby, and there is all-new canopy roof structures covering the platforms, with new platform finishes, lighting and signage, and other patron and safety and security improvements. These include a police substation, surveillance cameras, and customer assistance intercoms. The station is a state-of-the-art new station for this neighborhood, in contrast to the old facility.
