State and city officials gathered Monday to celebrate a new commitment by the MBTA to rebuild and modernize the Newtonville commuter rail station to make it larger and more accessible.
The station rebuild, which currently doesn’t have a construction start date, is one of three existing stations that only get a handful of trains per day and function as a bottleneck on the entire line, which serves MetroWest and Worcester.
Right now, the stations are little better than asphalt strips sandwiched between the Massachusetts Turnpike and the train tracks. The new station will have high-level platforms and elevators connecting it to street level.
