Originally announced as Lowell Street station, the MBTA announced in December 2016 that the opening would be delayed until 2021 in the wake of cutbacks, and that the name of the station would be changed to Magoun Square.[3]
The station will be located on Lowell Street 0.3 miles (0.48 km) south of the actual square, at the intersection of Medford Street and Broadway.
