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 Kent 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] Plans shown in February 2024 called for Kent Street station to be closed, as it is just 830 feet (250 m) from both St. Paul Street and Hawes Street stations.[5]
