Charles/MGH T station brought public transportation
to Beacon Hill. Its placement overlooking the Charles
River provides a scenic view for travelers. Courtesy

The Charles/MGH
MBTA station offers a picturesque view of the Charles River along
the Red Line.
The station, constructed in 1932, has long been
a fixture at the end of Cambridge Street. It provides transportation
to the many commuters who travel to work at Mass General Hospital
and neighboring businesses everyday.

| The
Charles/MGH T station today. The handicap un-friendly
site will be renovated to become ADA compliant. |
|
Completion of
its renovations will transform this hovering piece of history into
a modern site, encouraging visitors. Those who get off the train
at the future Charles/MGH will step into an appealing, landscaped
thoroughfare - much different from the elevated and pedestrian walkways
that currently exist.

futuristic Charles/MGH site. The new station will welcome
travelers to the area, which will one day be completely
renovated for greater traffic accessibility. Courtesy
