Track work in 2018–19, which included replacement of platform edges at several stops, triggered requirements for accessibility modifications at those stops.[2] Design work for Fairbanks Street and seven other C Branch stations was 15% complete by December 2022.[3] As of November 2023[update], construction is expected to take place from mid-2025 to spring 2026.[4] Designs shown in February 2024 called for Fairbanks Street and Brandon Hall stations to be consolidated into a single station between their present locations. Accessible ramps to the north side of Beacon Street would be built at Lancaster Terrace and Mason Path.[5]
