Sometimes, when a politician says, I need more information to act upon this, he or she is actually not equivocating! Sometimes, the most reponsible answer is to say, true consensus depends upon receipt of complete information. Right now, many people from many different city interests are still trying to figure out to what extent this will affect our city operations. At this juncture, we're not sure of how far the Green Line is going to be extended into the city for example. We're not sure to what extent Medford planners will work with transportation officials in the planning. We need to take a step forward and to define the very real issues at hand, to define who will be working on what committee, and to establish problems and solutions, such as what to do about how many parking space we'll need to create to accommodate the Green Line. I can only promise I will watch this issue with some vigilance and step in as soon as I can in a responsible fashion.
