Although delayed, the Green Line is coming to Medford. I have been consistent and clear that we need to be honest and respectful in how it comes to Medford, how far does it comes into Medford, how we can make it benefit Medford, how we can prevent it from hurting Medford. I have been to many of the public meetings, I have read many documents, I have called for a local committee to be formed and asked that Office of Community Development resources be directed to monitor the progress of the project. I have agreed to serve, at the Mayor’s request, as a city representative on the Green Line Working Group. I want this project to go well. I want people’s peace, tranquility and homes protected. I want good public transportation. I want citizens to have a safe and an agenda-free forum to listen and speak on this issue. I want Medford unburdened from additional MBTA taxes. This is what I have been doing. This is what I will continue to do.
