Two images side-by-side show a green line train at a platform. The left image is a photo of a train next to a broken, narrow asphalt platform in the median of a multi-lane roadway as a pedestrian crosses in a crosswalk towards it. The right image is a rendering of a wider platform with benches, lights, and wayfinding signage and a fence that protects the platform from the adjacent roadway.

A rendering of a wide street from a birds-eye perspective. The center of the street features a red dedicated busway, with two lanes (one in each direction) separated from adjacent traffic with landscaped medians and bus stop waiting area platforms. General motor vehicle traffic is confined to 1-2 lanes on either side of the busway. Along the sidewalks are green dedicated bike lanes, which are generally separated from the adjacent car lanes by gardens surrounded by curbs. A label in the upper left denotes the Mattapan Branch of the Boston Public Library, and another label denotes the intersecting street as Walk Hill St.
