context_page_description: Fenway is a light rail stop on the MBTA Green Line D branch, located under Park Drive near the Riverway in the Fenway–Kenmore neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. It opened along with the rest of the D Branch on July 4, 1959, when trolleys replaced Highland Branch commuter rail service. The station is fully handicapped accessible from Park Drive via the Landmark Center parking lot as well as from Miner Street.
  Named after the Fenway parkway rather than Fenway Park, it is not the nearest station to the stadium—Lansdowne commuter rail and Kenmore Green Line station are closer. Nevertheless, it is heavily used during Boston Red Sox home games and other Fenway Park events.
context_section_description: The station is located under the Park Drive overpass, with platforms stretching under the bridge and slightly to the west. A set of stairs connects the inbound platform to the bridge. Accessible sidewalks connect the inbound platform to Park Drive via the Landmark Center parking lot and to Miner Street next to the tracks. The outbound platform has no entrances of its own and is accessed via pedestrian crossings from the inbound platform.
  In 2016, the MBTA considered adding one or two elevators to improve accessibility at the station, but it was not pursued.
  MBTA bus routes CT2 and 47 run on Park Drive, with stops on the bridge above the station. There are no crosswalks to access the southbound bus stop at the station; the nearest crosswalks are at Riverway.
