MEMORANDUM
TAURO, District Judge.
Under Title II of the Americans With Disabilities Act (“ADA”), 1 public transportation agencies are required to make certain identified stations handicap accessible. Copley Station, which is located within the Back Bay Historic District, is one such identified station. Contrary to that federal mandate, however, Copley Station is not currently ADA compliant. In order to rectify that failure, Defendants initiated the “Copley Station Accessibility Improvement Project” (the “Project”). That Project is the subject of the instant litigation.
