Track work in 2018–19, which included replacement of platform edges at several stops, triggered requirements for accessibility modifications at those stops.[2] Design for South Street and four other B Branch stops was 30% complete by December 2022.[3] As of June 2023, construction is expected to take place during 2024.[4]
