The MBTA is currently reconstructing stations on the Mattapan High Speed Line. During reconstruction, trolley service has been replaced by shuttle buses. Trolley service is scheduled to resume at the end of Fall 2007.[1] The Mattapan Station renovation includes new station platforms and shelters and a new building for MBTA operations with a community room. In addition a mixed-use transit oriented development (TOD) is being built on the former parking lot adjacent to the station.[2][3]
