Hundreds came to Somerville High School’s Auditorium tonight to learn about the status of the Green Line extensions and the environmental review process that is just beginning. The Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act office is currently determining the scope of the review process, and you can give input until November 9. Learn what you can do to help.
Mayor Joe Curtatone called this meeting “an encouraging and exciting step forward” and said, “We’ve come a long way but we still have miles to go.” He announced that a Citizens Advisory Committee will be formed for the Green Line extensions.
