*Make Your Voice Heard on the Green Line Extension Project!*

We hope you will join us at civic engagement meetings around the region to
discuss the best route and station locations for this new MBTA service in
Cambridge, Somerville, and Medford.  The Green Line Extension Project is an
initiative of the Massachusetts Executive Office of Transportation & Public
Works, in coordination with the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.

*Project General Information Meeting - Wednesday, January 23
*Medford City Hall Council Chambers
85 George P. Hassett Drive, Medford
6:30 - 8:30 PM (6:00 PM, Open House)

This meeting will provide an opportunity for those less familiar with the
project to be updated about the Green Line Extension Project.  Topics will
include a project overview, history, proposed project route and station
locations, the Community Path, and next steps.  There will be a follow-up
general meeting in late February that will be advertised at a later date.

The project team will hold workshops in neighborhoods for which new Green
Line stations have been proposed.  Our goal in these meetings is to gather
your ideas on the proposed station locations, design elements, and potential
neighborhood impacts.
Each workshop will focus on different neighborhood areas.
