St. Paul Street consists of two narrow side platforms, which serve the "B" Branch's two tracks.

Stop consolidation

In October 2014, the MBTA began holding meetings for a proposal to consolidate four stops - Boston University West, St. Paul Street, Pleasant Street, and Babcock Street - located near Boston University's West Campus. The four stops, which are not handicapped accessible, would be turned into two fully accessible stops as part of a planned redesign of Commonwealth Avenue between the BU Bridge and Packard's Corner.^[2] Boston University West and St. Paul Street would be consolidated into one station in the block between Amory Street and St. Paul Street.^[3]
