Hearing on MBTA extension into Somerville
Oct. 18th, 2004 06:54 pmInformation from http://www.provost-citywide.org/ newsletter:
There will be a Public Meeting on Wednesday, October 27, 2004, to
discuss "options" for improving transit services in the corridor "Beyond
Lechmere." This is the ONLY such meeting that the MBTA will be holding
in Somerville regarding the GREEN LINE EXTENSION. The MBTA's format will
be an "Open House/Public Meeting to learn about the preliminary
alternatives under discussion;" including viewing the options on display
boards, and talking to the project team.
These "preliminary alternatives" will be available to preview on line at
some point before the meeting, though they are not yet posted. The Green
Line extension has its own web site, and the alternatives will appear
there some time in the week before the 27th, at:
www.mbta.com/projects_underway/beyond_lechmere-planning.asp
The important Public Meeting will be held in the Somerville High School
Auditorium, 81 Highland Ave., from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. Again, it is the
ONLY session scheduled for receiving public input in Somerville. For
those who simply cannot attend, but want to be involved, there will be a
similar meeting at Medford City Hall from 6 until 8 pm on Wednesday
November 3, 2004.
Call Regan Checchio at Regina Villa Associates, 617-357-5572, with any
questions.

They're kind of hiding it; to get to it, you have to go to the "North Station Super Station" info and then the link is off to the left in tiny type.
