Community Planning to Extend Green Line

MassDOT and the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) are pleased to announce the launch of a community planning process to gather input on the benefits and impacts of extending the Green Line to Mystic Valley Parkway/Route 16. This initiative will also study land use issues and the potential for transit-oriented developments in the area.

The study is funded by MassDOT, which will be actively involved in the process along with the MBTA and the cities of Medford and Somerville. The first in a series of public meetings is scheduled for Wednesday, February 16, 2011 from 6PM to 8PM at the Brooks Elementary School, 288 High Street in Medford. Come to learn more and make your voice heard.

You can download a copy of the meeting flyer here.

If you have any questions on the project, you can email Kate Fichter, Project Manager, at katherine.fichter@state.ma.us. More information on the MAPC Mystic Valley Parkway/Route 16 planning process can also be found here.

Thank you for your interest in this project,

The Green Line Extension Team
