PURPOSE/SUBJECT: Project Advisory Group <strong>Meeting</strong> #8<br />
BACKGROUND: The <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> Extension Project is an initiative of the Massachusetts<br />
Executive Office of Transportation & Public Works (EOT), in coordination with the<br />
Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA). This project will extend existing<br />
MBTA <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> service <strong>from</strong> Lechmere Station through the northwest Boston corridor<br />
communities of Cambridge, Somerville, and Medford, with an extension of the main line<br />
to Medford and a spur line to Union Square in Somerville. The goals of the project are to<br />
increase mobility, encourage public transit usage, improve regional air quality, ensure a<br />

<strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> Extension Project Advisory Group <strong>Meeting</strong> #8<br />
more equitable distribution of transit services, and support opportunities for sustainable<br />
development.<br />
Introductions and Update <strong>from</strong> EOT<br />
Nancy Farrell, Regina Villa Associates, opened the <strong>meeting</strong> at 4:05. She reviewed the<br />
<strong>meeting</strong> agenda and invited Advisory Group members to introduce themselves (see<br />
Attendance). She then introduced Steve Woelfel, Project Manager for EOT.<br />
Mr. Woelfel said that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had recently ruled<br />
on the State Implementation Plan (SIP) substitutions, and the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> Extension<br />
project has now formally been incorporated into the SIP as defined to include a Union<br />
Square branch as well as a Main <strong>Line</strong> branch.<br />
Mr. Woelfel said that the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is changing the way it<br />
oversees risk management and project costs. FTA has began a project management<br />
oversight process for the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> Extension one month ago, and EOT will be<br />
providing information on cost, schedule, scope, and possible areas of risk.<br />
Mr. Woelfel added that he hopes to have the scoping analysis for the proposed <strong>Green</strong><br />
<strong>Line</strong> support facility and ridership figures posted on the project website prior to the<br />
September Advisory Group <strong>meeting</strong>. He apologized that the information was not<br />
available for this <strong>meeting</strong>. [Editor’s Note: EOT is still working to prepare these analyses<br />
and will provide them as soon as they are ready.]<br />
William Wood, Medford, said that in the EPA ruling on the SIP commitments, the<br />
proposal advocated by the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> Advisory Group for Medford (GLAM), was<br />
recommended by EPA as an enhancement. [Editor’s Note: the project alternative<br />
proposed by GLAM was mentioned in the EPA SIP ruling without particular<br />
endorsement.]<br />
Ken Krause, Medford, asked if the annual SIP report – due to the Department of<br />
Environmental Protection every June – is available. Kate Fichter, EOT, said that a June<br />
30, 2008 report was filed with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). She<br />
noted that DEP will hold two public <strong>meeting</strong>s to receive public comment, both oral and<br />
written, on the annual update and status report for transit projects. The public <strong>meeting</strong>s<br />
will be held on Monday, September 8, 2008 at 2:00 PM and Monday, September 8, 2008<br />
at 5:00 PM. She invited interested parties to visit the EOT website to learn more. 1<br />
Mimi Graney, Union Square Main Streets, asked when a decision on the Union Square<br />
alignment will be discussed. Mr. Woelfel said he hoped it would be discussed at the<br />
September <strong>meeting</strong>, but if the information is available earlier, it would be released then.<br />
[Editor’s Note: EOT is still working to prepare this analysis and will provide it as soon as<br />
it is ready.]<br />
Lee Auspitz, Somerville, asked about the number of potential locations that will be<br />
discussed in the maintenance facility scoping document. Mr. Woelfel said the document<br />
will include all of the sites discussed in April 2008 at the Advisory Group <strong>meeting</strong> as well<br />
as variations, noting there were over 11. Mr. Auspitz asked if these included Yard 7 and<br />

<strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> Extension Project Advisory Group <strong>Meeting</strong> #8<br />
the Boston Engine Terminal (BET) as an entire parcel without reference to the land<br />
restrictions. Mr. Woelfel said the document will address this location.<br />
Councilor Fred DelloRusso, Medford, asked if a decision has been made yet regarding<br />
the project’s terminus and whether it will include Route 16. Mr. Woelfel said the team<br />
was still evaluating the costs and benefits of bringing the line to Route 16. Councilor<br />
DelloRusso asked if EOT had come to a final decision regarding the relocation of<br />
Lechmere station. Mr. Woelfel said that EOT is prepared to evaluate the relocation of<br />
Lechmere as part of this project, but does not want to shut the door in case an<br />
agreement is reached with the developers.<br />
Noise and Vibration<br />
Jason Ross, HMMH, gave a presentation on the noise and vibration impact assessment<br />
methodology used along the project corridor (in accordance with the Federal Transit<br />
Administration’s (FTA) guidelines). Mr. Ross reviewed noise and vibration basics, types<br />
of noise and vibration sensitive locations, impact criteria, noise and vibration projections,<br />
and potential mitigation options.<br />
Dr. Wood asked if the analysis will include noise and vibration generated by freight rail.<br />
Mr. Ross said it will.<br />
Ms. Graney asked how noise impacts health. Mr. Ross noted that health effects can be<br />
both physical and psychological. Ms. Graney alluded to studies in England regarding<br />
hormone and development impacts.<br />
Monica Lamboy, City of Somerville, asked if the Brickbottom Artists were included as a<br />
sensitive receptor. Mr. Ross said he was aware of this location and that the building has<br />
been included as a sensitive receptor.<br />
Dr. Wood said the study should include the effects of noise and vibration on the<br />
disabled, including people with tinnitus. Mr. Ross said he was happy to discuss this<br />
research further with Dr. Wood.<br />
Ellin Reisner, STEP, asked how the measurement included existing noise levels<br />
produced by commuter rail trains on the Lowell <strong>Line</strong>. Mr. Ross noted that new noise<br />
sources can increase overall noise levels.<br />
Jim McGinnis, Somerville, asked if the study included noise generated by bus activity,<br />
especially for areas in which there will be multimodal connections. Mr. Ross said that<br />
bus noise is not included in the study. Mr. McGinnis asked if the impact of the proposed<br />
maintenance facility is included. Mr. Ross said it will be measured.<br />
Mr. Auspitz said abutters within 50 feet of the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> will be exposed to high levels<br />
of noise. He said the Red <strong>Line</strong> extension project included pioneering methods for<br />
mitigating excessive noise.<br />
Rita Donnelly, Medford, asked how the noise impact would increase if trees were<br />
removed. Mr. Ross said that it would have very little noise impact; it would primarily<br />
affect the visual impact.<br />
August 4, 2008 4
<strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> Extension Project Advisory Group <strong>Meeting</strong> #8<br />
Dr. Wood asked about the noise impact differences between tunneling and aboveground<br />
trains. Mr. Ross said that tunnels would create less noise, but more vibration<br />
effects.<br />
Air Quality<br />
Tom Wholley, VHB, provided a presentation on air quality, including a discussion of air<br />
pollutants, the criteria and status of the various pollutants, and the methodology of the<br />
analysis. The air quality analysis will include a mesoscale (regional) and microscale<br />
(local) analysis. It will analyze the following emissions: VOC, NOx, greenhouse gases,<br />
carbon monoxide, particulate matter (PM) and air toxics.<br />
Community Path<br />
John Burckardt, PB, provided an overview of the Community Path, a proposed multiuse<br />
path that would extend the Minuteman Bikeway/<strong>Line</strong>ar Park 2.5 miles <strong>from</strong> its current<br />
ending at Cedar Street in Somerville to the Charles River Path. The proposed route<br />
follows the edge of the Lowell <strong>Line</strong> Commuter Rail tracks, at street level (the trains run<br />
below, in a cut). The Community Path will link the Minuteman Bikeway/<strong>Line</strong>ar Park (the<br />
most-used rail trail in the USA), via Lechmere, to the Charles River Path.<br />
Mr. Burckardt then provided an overview of previous Community Path studies including<br />
the Initial Feasibility Study (2001) and the 2006 Feasibility Study. Public comments on<br />
the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> Extension Expanded Environmental Notification Form (EENF)<br />
emphasized that the design of both projects could be coordinated to provide pedestrian<br />
and bicycle access to the new <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> stations. The Secretary’s Certificate on the<br />
EENF said the EOT should work proactively with the proponents of the Community Path,<br />
and the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) should include conceptual designs,<br />
evaluate whether bridges are wide enough to accommodate the path, provide cost<br />
estimates and evaluate the viability of extending the path to Route 16 to create a<br />
connection with the Mystic River Parkway. 2<br />
Mr. Krause noted that the Secretary’s Certificate requires the project team evaluate the<br />
feasibility of extending the Community Path to Route 16/Mystic Valley Parkway.<br />
Next Steps<br />
Ms. Farrell noted that there will be a Magoun Square Neighborhood Association <strong>meeting</strong><br />
at the Visiting Nurses Association in Somerville that will include a <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> Extension<br />
Project presentation and discussion.<br />
Ms. Farrell added that the next Advisory Group <strong>meeting</strong> will be held in September, date<br />
and location to be announced. [Editor’s Note: EOT will schedule a Project Advisory<br />
Group <strong>meeting</strong> as soon as outstanding analyses are completed.]<br />
Public Comment<br />
An attendee asked about the noise impacts on the Medford Hillside area. Mr. Woelfel<br />
said that he hoped the noise impact results would be available in September.<br />
2<br />
The viability of a Mystic River Parkway connection was not included in this presentation, but will be<br />
included in the DEIR.<br />
August 4, 2008 5
<strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> Extension Project Advisory Group <strong>Meeting</strong> #8<br />
Doug Carr, Medford <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> Neighborhood Alliance (MGNA), submitted two reports<br />
to EOT: a demographic analysis of the Route 16 area and a petition <strong>from</strong> residents in<br />
three communities supporting the extension to Route 16. (See Appendix)<br />
A Medford resident said he was concerned about land takings and requested more<br />
information about the subject.<br />
Laurel Ruma, Medford, said she was an abutter to the rail line and Tufts University. She<br />
requested that EOT look at the area south of the College Avenue bridge instead of<br />
Burget Avenue when siting the proposed College Avenue station. She asked that EOT<br />
respond to her letter and this request. She noted that 82 decibels is the current noise<br />
level and asked what the maximum level is before mitigation. Mr. Ross said that 82<br />
decibels is the maximum, and the team has not completed the analysis of existing<br />
conditions. EOT stated that they had not received a letter <strong>from</strong> her.<br />
Brian Sylvain, a representative of the Tunnel Workers union, encouraged EOT to use<br />
tunneling to construct the Extension.<br />
Carolyn Rosen, GLAM, said that the tunnel proposal advocated by GLAM is not on the<br />
<strong>meeting</strong> agenda due to the prejudice of EOT. She submitted her criticism of the project<br />
approach in written comments (see Appendix).<br />
Joe Lynch, Magoun Square Neighborhood Association, asked what existing conditions<br />
data will be included in the final report for noise and vibration. Mr. Ross said that it will<br />
cover 24-hour periods over several days and weeks and include Amtrak, commuter rail,<br />
and freight trains. Mr. Woelfel added that there is no intent to remove existing freight<br />
operations on the corridor.<br />
Elizabeth Bayle said she is concerned that the project schedule has changed and the<br />
Winthrop Street station proposal has been dropped without public discussion. Mr.<br />
Woelfel said the schedule has slipped a little due to the new oversight process initiated<br />
by FTA. He said there will be public <strong>meeting</strong>s in late September. [Editor’s Note: EOT<br />
will schedule public <strong>meeting</strong>s as soon as outstanding analyses are completed.]<br />
Steve Kaiser said he welcomed the news that the state will be taking over the relocation<br />
of Lechmere station. He believes the tunnel is a good idea, although expensive. With<br />
regard to noise and vibration, he has questions about the difference between irritation<br />
and actual health effects. He also suggested that EOT examine Federal Highway<br />
Administration noise standards for parks and open spaces instead of FTA noise<br />
standards.<br />
Wig Zamore noted that the Move Mass <strong>meeting</strong> on August 15 will be discussing the<br />
<strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> project. He suggested looking at hypertension studies to see the effects of<br />
50 decibels. He said that he has measures of ultrafine particles that he would be happy<br />
to share if it will help the air quality analysis. He also noted that diesel trains that start<br />
and stop have more pollution that those that move through a community at speed.<br />
Mike Korczynski, Medford, suggested that mitigation for part transportation-related<br />
burdens should be included in the analysis, not just the future change in levels.<br />
August 4, 2008 6
<strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> Extension Project Advisory Group <strong>Meeting</strong> #8<br />
Mr. Auspitz suggested the noise and vibration study include two sampling points: a<br />
residence in Medford as well as Ward 5 in Somerville.<br />
The <strong>meeting</strong> was adjourned at 6:11 PM.<br />

Presented by the Medford <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong><br />
Neighborhood Alliance<br />
August 4, 2008
More Than 2,000 Show Support for <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> to Route 16<br />
More than 2,000 area residents have signed a Medford <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong><br />
Neighborhood Alliance (MGNA) petition in support of the Route 16/Mystic Valley<br />
Parkway area as the final station of the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> extension to Somerville and<br />
Medford.<br />
MGNA presents this petition, with 2,022 signatures, to the Executive Office of<br />
Transportation (EOT) and to elected officials <strong>from</strong> Medford, Somerville and<br />
Arlington as a demonstration of strong community support for extending the<br />
<strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> to Route 16.<br />
The petition states three primary reasons for support of Route 16 as the terminus<br />
location. These are, to:<br />
• Provide <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> access to thousands of people within a 10-minute walk.<br />
• Be conveniently located on two major thoroughfares with existing bus<br />
connections.<br />
• Serve two large portions of Medford and Somerville designated as<br />
Environmental Justice communities.<br />
Petition signers added numerous other comments in favor of a Route 16 station,<br />
particularly citing the need to improve public transportation options in the wake of<br />
record gasoline prices. (A sampling of comments by petition signers appears at<br />
the back of this report.)<br />
The signatures were collected online and in paper form over seven weeks, <strong>from</strong><br />
June 5 to July 31, 2008. Most of the signatures – 1,687, or 83 percent – were<br />
gathered via the online form. Another 335 people signed paper petitions.<br />
Nearly half of the people who gave a city of residence when signing the petition<br />
identified themselves as being Medford residents. The breakdown was:<br />
Medford 48%<br />
Somerville 17%<br />
Arlington 12%<br />
Other 4%<br />
No city indicated 19%<br />
A map showing the geographical distribution of the signatures appears on Pg. 2.<br />
The Executive Office of Transportation and elected officials are receiving printed<br />
copies of all the signatures. The public may view the entire list of signatures on<br />

Data Shows Route 16 Station Helps <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> Project<br />
Achieve Air Quality, Environmental Justice Objectives<br />
Analysis of census data by the Medford <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> Neighborhood Alliance<br />
(MGNA) shows that extending the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> beyond College Avenue to Route<br />
16 (Mystic Valley Parkway) would put nearly 10,000 additional residents within a<br />
10-minute walk of <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> service.<br />
In addition, a Route 16 station would provide <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> service within a 10minute<br />
walk of five neighborhoods designated as Environmental Justice<br />
communities that would not be similarly served by a <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> terminus station<br />
at College Avenue.<br />
Both of these findings support the MGNA’s position that extending service to<br />
Route 16, rather than terminating it at a College Avenue Station, is important to<br />
helping the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> extension project meet two of its most important<br />
objectives:<br />
IMPROVED AIR QUALITY<br />
The more person trips shifted <strong>from</strong> autos to transit, the better the project’s<br />
potential to achieve its No. 1 objective – to improve regional air quality in the<br />
corridor northwest of Boston and bring the Commonwealth into compliance with<br />
Clean Air Act requirements for ozone levels.<br />
• A Route 16 station would be within a half-mile – or a 10-minute walk – of<br />
9,116 residents of Medford, Somerville and Arlington, based on 2000 U.S.<br />
Census data (See Figure 1, Pg. 3). The MBTA considers a half-mile the<br />
optimal spacing between transit stations.<br />
• The proximity to <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> service – vastly more frequent, efficient and less<br />
polluting than existing public transit service in the area – would be a strong<br />
incentive for residents to travel via the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> rather than by car.<br />
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE<br />
The <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> extension project is bound by the environmental justice<br />
principles that no segment of the population should be denied environmental<br />
benefits, or bear a disproportionate burden of the environmental impacts, related<br />
to the project.<br />
One measure of achieving environmental justice in this project is providing fair<br />
and equitable access to stations – and to economic and educational<br />
opportunities.<br />
• A Route 16 terminus station would be within walking distance of five<br />
neighborhoods – two in Medford, two in Somerville and one in Arlington – that<br />
are designated as environmental justice communities (See Figure 2, Pg. 4).<br />
MGNA Route 16 Demographic Analysis 1 Aug. 4, 2008
OTHER BENEFITS<br />
The Route 16 station also helps the project in other key areas, including:<br />
• Providing service to Medford Hillside, a legal requirement of the project. A<br />
Route 16 station would provide superior service to the northwestern half of<br />
the Medford Hillside area than would a terminus at College Avenue.<br />
• Better access to employment: Census data shows that more than 57<br />
percent of Medford residents who commute to work are employed in four of<br />
the cities the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> extension will serve:<br />
Boston 24.61% Cambridge 10.75%<br />
Medford 17.45% Somerville 4.7%<br />
• Reduced auto congestion on the heavily traveled Route 16, I-93, Route 38<br />
and Route 28 corridors. In addition to reducing auto dependency of people<br />
living in the area, a Route 16 station would provide improved transit access to<br />
numerous area destinations, including office buildings at 196, 200 and 222<br />
Boston Avenue; the Whole Foods store at 2151 Mystic Valley Parkway; the<br />
Mystic River Reservation Park and Dilboy Stadium; the Brooks School; and<br />
several churches.<br />
• Improved cost effectiveness. The additional potential <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> ridership<br />
at a Route 16 terminus could significantly improve the project’s cost<br />
effectiveness by lowering the cost per hour of user benefit, -- a key<br />
component in the rating system used to evaluate the worthiness of projects<br />
seeking federal funding.<br />
The Route 16 demographic data was analyzed by Geographic Information<br />
Systems (GIS) analyst Benjamin Krepp and GIS research consultant Barbara<br />
Parmenter. Using 2000 U.S. Census data, the most recent available, they<br />
determined which portion of each census block <strong>group</strong> fell within prescribed<br />
distances, or buffer areas, of the Route 16 station location being considered by<br />
the Executive Office of Transportation.<br />
This data quantifies two of the numerous advantages of extending the <strong>Green</strong><br />
<strong>Line</strong> to Route 16. For a longer list of potential benefits, see “Why Route 16<br />
Makes Sense,” Pg. 5. For all of these reasons, the Medford <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong><br />
Neighborhood Alliance strongly urges the Executive Office of Transportation to<br />
site the terminus station for the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> extension at Route 16.<br />
Medford <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> Neighborhood Alliance<br />
The Medford <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> Neighborhood Alliance is a <strong>group</strong> of citizens who<br />
support the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> extension being planned to Medford, and who advocate<br />
for proactive involvement <strong>from</strong> the city, its residents and all stakeholders to<br />
ensure that the extension is completed in a manner that is most beneficial to our<br />
community. For more information visit www.medfordgreenline.org or email<br />

Why a Route 16 Station Makes Sense<br />
Here are some of the reasons why the Route 16 (Mystic Valley Parkway) area makes sense for a<br />
<strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> terminus station:<br />
• Significantly higher ridership potential, thus improving the project’s cost effectiveness, which<br />
is measured in cost per hour of user benefit, a key criteria for federal approval and funding.<br />
• Within convenient walking distance (10 to 15 <strong>minutes</strong>) of nearly 10,000 residents of Medford,<br />
Somerville and Arlington who would not have such access if the terminus were located at College<br />
Avenue, nearly one mile away.<br />
• Three multi-purpose paths being planned by the Department of Conservation and Recreation<br />
– along Alewife Brook through Arlington, along Mystic Valley Parkway <strong>from</strong> the Mystic Lakes, and<br />
along the length of the Mystic River in Medford – lead directly to the Route 16 terminus area.<br />
These paths will provide safe walking and bicycling access to more people and attract and even<br />
encourage riders <strong>from</strong> greater distances <strong>from</strong> the station.<br />
• The largely commercial node is more conducive to requirements of the terminus station (e.g.,<br />
a longer platform, space for layover cars) than the College Avenue area, where the platform<br />
would directly abut backyards of Burget Avenue residents.<br />
• Direct access <strong>from</strong> two major arterial roads (Mystic Valley Parkway and Boston Avenue) that<br />
lead directly to highway connections (I-93, Route 2, Route 60), which facilitates drop-off/pickup<br />
traffic.<br />
• Transfer/connectivity for riders of existing bus routes (#80 <strong>from</strong> Arlington and #94 <strong>from</strong><br />
Medford Square); additionally, a path could be created to connect the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> station to the<br />
West Medford commuter rail station less than 1,000 yards away.<br />
• Serves Environmental Justice target area communities in West Medford, Northwest<br />
Somerville and East Arlington.<br />
• Direct access to several destinations for riders coming TO Medford/Somerville – the office<br />
buildings at 200 and 196 Boston Avenue; the Elizabeth Grady headquarters at 222 Boston<br />
Avenue; the Whole Foods store at 2151 Mystic Valley Parkway; the Brooks School on High<br />
Street; the Mystic River Reservation Park and Dilboy Stadium; and several churches in West<br />
Medford and Medford Hillside.<br />
• Opportunity for related infrastructure improvements that would improve stormwater<br />
management and reduce pollution entering the Mystic River.<br />
• Shifting more auto trips to transit will help the city of Medford meet emissions reduction goals<br />
established in the Medford Climate Action Plan. Motor vehicle usage in Medford accounts for 38<br />
percent of community emissions, with personal vehicles the largest contributor.<br />
• Supports several key areas of <strong>focus</strong> of the Mystic Watershed Action Plan, including transitoriented<br />
development, better bike/pedestrian access and improved municipal infrastructure.<br />
• Provides improved access without requiring a car to venues such as TD Banknorth Garden,<br />
Cambridgeside Galleria, Museum of Science, Massachusetts General Hospital, Spaulding<br />
Rehabilitation Hospital, Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary, the Boston Public Library, Symphony<br />
Hall, Fenway Park, the Museum of Fine Arts, Logan Airport, Boston College, Boston University,<br />
Northeastern University and the Longwood Medical Area.<br />
MGNA Route 16 Demographic Analysis 5 Aug. 4, 2008
Bring the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> to Route 16!<br />
To: Massachusetts Executive Office of Transportation, State Delegation<br />
and the Cities of Medford and Somerville<br />
The Executive Office of Transportation is currently studying options for a terminus location for the<br />
MBTA <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> Extension to Medford. The Medford <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> Neighborhood Alliance believes<br />
the best location for a terminus is at Route 16 (Mystic Valley Parkway) near the<br />
Medford/Somerville/Arlington line. This location would:<br />
• Provide <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> access to thousands of people within a 10-minute walk.<br />
• Be conveniently located on two major thoroughfares with existing bus connections.<br />
• Serve two large portions of Medford and Somerville designated as Environmental Justice<br />
communities.<br />
If you agree that the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> should be extended to Route 16, please sign below.<br />
I AM IN FAVOR OF THE ROUTE 16/MYSTIC VALLEY PARKWAY AREA AS THE<br />
TERMINUS LOCATION FOR THE GREEN LINE EXTENSION.<br />

very disappointed when the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong><br />
extension was cut short of West<br />
Medford. Bringing the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> to Rt.<br />

1552. Roberta Cameron 12 North Street #2 Medford 02155 The green line at Route 16 is an ideal<br />
location to be served by transit. The site<br />
of a potential station directly abuts<br />
around 250,000 square feet of existing<br />
office and retail space, as well as two<br />
affordable multifamily housing<br />
developments, with a substantial<br />
density of single and multifamily<br />
housing in Medford and Arlington, as<br />
well as a school all within close walking<br />
distance. A train station here could be<br />
connected by pedestrian paths to the<br />
commuter rail. This dense, mixed use<br />
neighborhood would not be served at all<br />
by a station a half mile to a mile away.<br />

980. Peter Kelley 12 Claire Street Tewksbury The Minuteman bike path passes very<br />
close to the proposed <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong><br />

additional commuters would consider<br />
using the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> if it were easy for<br />
them to store their bicycles at the <strong>Green</strong><br />

road congestion and the use of gas and<br />

exceedingly important to extend public<br />

are you stopping at 16 vs. going to<br />
Medford square? Light rail is<br />
environmentally clean. It is critical we<br />
think about the future and expand light<br />
rail service NOW. This service will<br />
replace buses and cars on the road.<br />

768. Barbara Steiner 29 Quincy St. Somerville 02143 I am strongly in favor of bringing the<br />

758. Giselle Michel Medford 02155 The extension of the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> to<br />
Route 16 would be a huge relief for the<br />
environment (fewer cars, less pollution).<br />
It would also be a relief for the hundreds<br />

739. Margaret Collins 172 Jerome St Medford 02155 Since Medford rent is on par with North<br />

202. Steve Stroud Tesla Ave. Medford 02155 At a minimum it should end at Route 16.<br />
Even better would be to push it through<br />
Medford, and into Woburn, taking it all<br />
the way to Rt.128 where a large<br />
commuter parking area could be built.<br />

175. K. Costello Medford 02155 Ridership data will support this decision<br />

171. Stephanie Geuns- 54 Whitney Rd Medford 02155 The <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> must extend at least as<br />

trolley or subway. So we're still burning<br />
gas. Since bus service is somewhat<br />
limited and walking is not an option for<br />
many, extending the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> here<br />
makes good sense.<br />

and environmentally beneficial<br />
nature of having access to so much of<br />

42. Michael Hogan 70 Princeton St. Medford 02155 it is important for Medford and<br />

41. Armando Caro Lowden Ave Somerville 02144 This stop will serve dense areas of<br />
somerville, medford, and arlington. It's<br />
good for our economy, our environment,<br />

chances to extend any of the MBTA<br />

mess this up now.<br />
40. Stephanie Schorow 11 Chardon Road Medford The <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> should extend to<br />

38. Steven E. Miller 92 Henry St. Cambridge 02139 Extending the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> to Alewife is a<br />

35. Charlie Denison 25 Linden Ave, Unit<br />

Somerville 02143 It is essential that the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong><br />
Extension go to Route 16, preferably to<br />
West Medford, to allow for Commuter<br />
Rail transfers. With gas prices at $4 a<br />
gallon, we need mass transit to be the<br />
best it can be. The future of our cities<br />
depend on it!<br />

27. Ken Krause 50 Mystic St Medford 02155 A Route 16 terminus is the most<br />
beneficial location for serving Medford,<br />

23. Peter J. Ungaro 1 Monument Street Medford 02155<br />
22. Susan Altman Medford 02155 This stop would serve lower-income<br />
people in West Medford and Somerville.<br />
Lower-income people tend to drive<br />
older cars that emit more carbon dioxide<br />
and pollutants. A stop at this location<br />
thus would not only serve residents<br />
but also do a great favor to our environment,<br />
in an area that has extreme car<br />
traffic and resulting air pollution.<br />

best way to serve the largest number of<br />
riders. I am thrilled at the possibility of<br />
being connected to Boston. We cannot<br />
let short term resistance impede progress<br />
that will benefit residents for<br />
decades.<br />
16. Jim Kiely 101 Wyman Street Medford 02155 I would gladly give up my commuting<br />

many, many other people would as well.<br />
15. Adam Gropman<br />
14. Megan Giebelhaus Medford 02155 Medford desperately needs additional<br />
public transportation to reduce the<br />

EOT's ridership goals and serve the EJ<br />
communities.<br />
1. Jared Ingersoll 176 Mystic St. Ext. Medford 02155 The RT. 16 is an important compromise<br />

wanted the extension to Rt. 60.

Medford <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> Neighborhood Alliance<br />
www.medfordgreenline.org<br />
info@medfordgreenline.com<br />
On June 5, the Medford <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> Neighborhood Alliance began circulating a petition in support of<br />
Route 16/Mystic Valley Parkway as the best location for the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> extension terminus.<br />
As of July 31, a total of 1,687 people had signed the petition online, and 335 had signed paper petitions.<br />
Here are some of the comments people submitted when signing the online petition:<br />
1690. Frank Kastenholz<br />
I am a West Medford resident. I was very disappointed when the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> extension was cut short of West<br />
Medford. Bringing the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> to Rt. 16 is necessary to serve our community<br />
1531. Douglas Smith 137 Harvard Avenue Medford 02155<br />
Access to convenient public transportation is a cost effective response to soaring energy cost and global<br />
climate change. Please bring the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> to Route 16. (And a daily walk makes good health sense!)<br />
1472. David R Mahoney 46 Winter St. Medford 02155<br />
This would greatly benefit the elderly and disabled at Walkling Court.<br />
1439. Anthony Hartman 18 Irving St. Medford 02155<br />
It would be a shame if the last stop were not at Route 16. The one complaint I have had since I moved to West<br />
Medford is that the bus service is unreliable. When 94 misses a run it is 1 1/2 hours between buses.<br />
1078. B. Iris Tanner, 82 Harvard Ave. #2, Medford 02155: Initially I was against this but in light of gas prices,<br />
etc., I now think it makes a LOT of sense.<br />
1056. Eric Pinsoneault, 186 Gardner St., Arlington 02474: This is a vote for better air quality and greater<br />
economic opportunity for the residents of Somerville, Medford and Arlington<br />
1036. Althea Brown, West Medford, 02155: Let's not miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity. Why<br />
should just Somerville and Tufts University reap the benefits? I hope we have a more open-minded community<br />
of people that will rally around this and demand that the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> will be coming to Medford through to Route<br />
16. Joy! Wow, our property would even be worth more!<br />
981. Anthony Biscardi, 29 Harvard Ave #33, Medford 02155: The infrequent times of the commuter rail on<br />
weekends and later evenings force me to take my car into Boston for sporting events, etc. If the <strong>Green</strong> line<br />
were walkable, I would no longer use my car for many events.<br />
976. Thomas Whiteford, 77 Boston Ave., Medford 02155: I am strongly in favor of green line station at route<br />
16. It's a perfect space for end of line station.<br />
934. Paul Seaburg, 53 High St., Somerville 02144: Being blind I would LOVE to see this happen.<br />
898. Sheila Horne-Talarico, 52 Monument St., Medford 02155: Let's not lose this opportunity.<br />
877. Rick Weir, 41 Sharon St., Medford 02155: In today's world of high gas prices, this addition could provide<br />
many of us with a cleaner, faster and simpler way of transportation. Would be nice to leave my car and walk to<br />
the T.<br />
785. Wig Zamore, 13 Highland Ave. #3, Somerville 02143: Multi-modal access and ridership will be best<br />
served by ending the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> at a commercial node on a major roadway rather than incur the negative<br />
impacts of terminating the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> in a more residential area between Tufts and Route 16.<br />
703. Marco Rivero, Harvard Avenue, Medford 02155: A terminus at Tufts would greatly serve the student<br />
community. A terminus at Route 16 would greatly serve the community at large. Don't cripple the extension:<br />
Bring it to Rt. 16 and give thousands more a chance to use it.<br />
(OVER)
526. Justine Kahn, Orchard Street, Medford 02155: I am a strong supporter of <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> extension! I live<br />
across the street <strong>from</strong> the current commuter line tracks. I am aware that there will be more noise with the train<br />
but I still support it wholeheartedly. I rely heavily on public transportation and take the bus as well as the Red,<br />
<strong>Green</strong>, and Blue lines to get to work. This would ease the commute greatly! Thank you for considering <strong>Green</strong><br />
<strong>Line</strong> extension to Rt. 16. You have my unconditional support.<br />
505. Lorin M. <strong>Green</strong>, 76 South St. #2, Medford 02155: Expanding to Medford is a great idea, my only<br />
concern is parking issues for the neighboring communities. I would like to see the expansion go through, but<br />
the impact on people who live in the immediate area (which has no permit parking) should be given<br />
a solution to potential parking issues this can cause.<br />
485. David Haynes, 64-A Canal Street, Medford 02155: In addition to bringing the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> to Rte. 16, a<br />
community pathway should be constructed along the Lowell commuter rail right-of-way into West Medford<br />
Square.<br />
479. Laura Punnett, 40 Tesla Avenue, Medford 02155: This would greatly enhance the usefulness of the<br />
<strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> extension!<br />
469. Jesse Harris, 74 Adams St., Medford 02155: This would make life much easier for the residents of the<br />
area as well as the students attending Tufts. It would get plenty of use and I am sure that even those currently<br />
protesting it for noise/crowding reasons will greatly appreciate it and utilize it if it is installed.<br />
462. Melissa Radzyminski, 139 Century St. Ext., Medford 02155: A College Ave stop is great but is just<br />
barely serving the Medford community (beyond Tufts anyway) - please don't leave us out and bring the green<br />
line to Rte 16!<br />
374. Evelyn Barnes, 23 Yale St., Medford 02155: Extending the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> to Route 16 is smart. Good<br />
public transportation will make these areas more desirable, increase property value, and attract interesting<br />
people and businesses.<br />
371. Dina Rudick, 75 Capen St., Medford 02155: Don't fall short of making this extension a functional, userfriendly<br />
community tool. It is proved that development follows infrastructure - make it happen! All the way to Rt.<br />
16.<br />
349. Alia-Anor Akaeze, 59 Prescott St., Medford 02155: Bringing this line at least as far as Rt 16 would<br />
provide a much needed nexus of AFFORDABLE public transportation to residents of East Arlington, Somerville<br />
and West Medford; and Rt. 16 could really use the relief. It might even help the buses run more reliably on<br />
schedule because of the decreased car traffic. And, of course, there is the green effect. This is a no-brainer!<br />
278. Jana Hollingsworth, 60 Tyler Ave., Medford 02155: What a wasted effort it would be to cut short the<br />
<strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> before Rt. 16. I live right across <strong>from</strong> the Commuter Rail tracks, and I would love for the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong><br />
to go past my house, and then well beyond. Then I wouldn't have to drive to Winchester Center. When it comes<br />
to public transportation--the more, the better!<br />
230. Mary Werowinski, 118 Allston St., Medford 02155: I would walk to the Rt. 16 stop to use <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong>.<br />
For this and many other reasons, I support the longest extension possible.<br />
212. Jeff Reese. Ball Square, Medford 02155: I could ride the green line to Whole Foods<br />
114. Lou Ann David, Êast Somerville 02144: Route 16 saves me a wait for a 1 @ hour bus to Ball Square or<br />
a bus @ 1/4 bus to Lechmere a 20 + minute ride-very slow! Please go to 16!<br />
104. Ted A. Adams, West Street, Medford 02155: Rte 16 terminus is the difference maker for me <strong>from</strong> using<br />
the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Line</strong> occasionally on sunny days (College Ave) or using the T regularly<br />
22. Susan Altman, Winthrop Street, Medford 02155: This stop would serve lower-income people in West<br />
Medford and Somerville. Lower-income people tend to drive older cars that emit more carbon dioxide and<br />
pollutants. A stop at this location thus would not only serve residents but also do a great favor to our<br />
environment, in an area that has extreme car traffic and resulting air pollution.<br />
1. Jared Ingersoll, 176 Mystic St. Ext., Medford 02155: The Rt. 16 is an important compromise for those of<br />
us in W. Medford who wanted the extension to Rt. 60<br />
