Medford Green Line Meeting Cancelled; State Officials to Meet May 9

A May 5 Green Line extension meeting in Medford has been cancelled, according to an email from MassDOT.

A series of public meetings has already been held as the state completed a 90 day review of the Green Line extension project. 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.

On May 9 the MassDOT Board of Directors and the MBTA Fiscal & Management Control Board will hold a meeting to discuss the results of the project “re-evaluation.” According to MassDOT, ninety minutes will be set aside for public comments. The meeting is taking place at 1 PM at the State Transportation Building in Boston. Comments can also be submitted to info@glxinfo.com.
