Ballooning costs have threatened to bring the Green Line extension project to a halt. MBTA General Manager Frank DePaola recently said the Green Line extension will happen only under certain conditions, including re-design, different contracts, and additional money from other sources. A 90-day review is currently underway to evaluate the project, according to DePaola, and public meetings are planned to discuss potential re-designs and cost-saving measures.
