Arborway is a former station on the Green Line "E" Branch. It was closed in 1985 when the line was "temporarily" suspended.[1]
New shelters were placed around 2010 in preparation of the return of service, but a lawsuit mandating the return of service was defeated in court in January 2011, nullifying such plans.[2]
Signs placed at the new platforms (which have never been served by streetcars but are used by the 39 bus) read "Forest Hills" - the name of the adjacent Orange Line and commuter rail station - rather than the former name of Arborway.
