Stop impacts: Blair Station stop I relocation (UPDATED)

Routes: 12, 15, 23, 24, 26, 42

Stations: Blair

Date effective: October 14, 2025

Updated on Friday, February 27, 2026

From 11:00 am on Tuesday, October 14 and continuing through fall 2026*, stop I at Blair Station will be temporarily closed. This closure is due to construction work being performed on the north bus platform, as part of the Blair Station Elevator Replacement Project. 

Impacts

  • Service for routes 12, 15, 23, 24, 26, 39, N39, and 42 will be relocated two stops east to stop G during the work period.
  • No pedestrian access to north bus platform from the west side of the station. Use the accessible walkway along north platform East.
  • No impact to north bus platform elevator or stairs

What else to expect

Customers should expect a heavier presence of construction activity along the pedestrian walkway at the station.

Starting March 2, 2026, part of the north bus platform and the lower level east doors will be closed for several months to allow work on the new elevator system. Customers will use the adjacent south doors to access stops F, G, and H using a temporary platform installed next to the existing platform. This will not affect the stop locations or service.

Other minor impacts to platforms and walkways on certain workdays may occur. Construction crews and flaggers will guide customers as required.
