The new Boston Landing Commuter Rail Station, privately financed by New Balance, has been oficially opened and commuter rail service has been restored to the Allston-Brighton community for the first time since the 1960s.
The station will be the seventeenth on the MBTA Framingham/Worcester Commuter Rail Line. Construction of the USD 20-million station began in October 2015 and was financed by New Balance, who will continue to pay for all maintenance costs of the station for the first ten years of its service. The station features a high-level, canopied single platform centered between the eastbound and westbound tracks and includes accessible, redundant elevators and ramps.
“Boston Landing is the latest example of how public-private partnerships can enhance the Commuter Rail offering for our passengers and benefit the community,” said Keolis Commuter Services General Manager and CEO David Scorey.
