Ball Square is a planned station on the MBTA Green Line "D" Branch in the Ball Square neighborhood of Somerville, Massachusetts.[1][2] Ball Square will consist of one island platform, which will serve the "D" Branch's two tracks.
As of December 2015, the future of the project is in doubt due to a substantial increase in costs; it will likely be further delayed or cancelled.[3]
