Longwood Station is a stop on the D branch of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA)'s Green Line. It is located on Chapel Street in Brookline, close to its intersection with Longwood Avenue, Boston and is the most convenient stop for Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Temple Israel.
Note that this station should not be confused with the similarly named Longwood Medical Area station on the E branch of the Green Line. That station is located on Huntington Avenue at the opposite end of the Longwood Medical and Academic Area, a cluster of academic and medical facilities that lie along Longwood Avenue.
Both sides of the station platform are currently wheelchair accessible from Chapel Street, but not from Riverway Park. Current construction on the station, including adding wheelchair accessibility to and from Riverway Park, is scheduled to be completed in Spring 2009.
