Summit Avenue (announced as Winchester Street/Summit Avenue) is a light rail stop on the MBTA Green Line "C" Branch, located in the median of Beacon Street between Winchester Street and Summit Avenue in the Coolidge Corner neighborhood of Brookline, Massachusetts. The stop has two low side platforms that serve the line's two tracks; it is not handicapped accessible.

History

Until around 2005, the station was listed as Winchester Street to avoid confusion with Summit Avenue stop on the "B" Branch. The "B" Branch stop was closed as part of a pilot program in April 2004 and permanently closed the following March, after which the "C" Branch stop became Summit Avenue.
