From the MGNA Website;
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation has released its response to public comments on its 2009 Annual Status Report for the Green Line extension and the other transit commitment projects in its State Implementation Plan.
Each July 1, MassDOT is required to file an Annual Status Report on these projects, hold a public hearing (held Sept. 9, 2009), and accept written public comments. It then has 120 days to formally submit responses to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection.
In its document, MassDOT responds to public comments regarding its proposed two-phase construction schedule, Route 16 station property impacts, elimination of the proposed Winthrop Street station, MassDOT’s definition of “Medford Hillside,” impacts on minority and other populations, tunneling analysis, mitigation, diesel particulate pollution, as well as the project’s funding and timetable.
MassDOT also reiterates that the siting of the maintenance and storage facility for the project remains a “formidable” challenge, but that it continues to work on the issue with municipal and public stakeholders and hopes to have a resolution soon.
