The Green Line needs to grow.  The daytime and bedtime population is growing.  We are seeing new developments of office, retail and residential throughout our city.  The cost of residential units continues Northward and to ensure continued growth we need reliable public transportation into the city core.

A Wbur articles reports “the state transportation board and the MBTA’s fiscal control board voted Monday to tentatively move forward with a scaled-down proposal for the long-delayed Green Line extension (GLX), which would relocate Lechmere Station and bring six new T stations to Somerville and Medford…The new plan, which is estimated to cost $2.3 billion, will go to the Federal Transit Administration, which also must approve the modified proposal.”
