A four-year delay of the Green Line Extension bereft of any tangible commitments from the Commonwealth is simply unacceptable. Somerville deserves a transparent, accurate timeline for the Green Line Extension, with clear deliverables. Fundamental matters of social justice, economic justice and environmental justice are at stake in this project. Governor Patrick promised to extend rail transit to the most densely populated community in New England and he needs to break ground while he is still Governor. The State must do better than declare it is going to miss the legally mandated 2014 deadline for the extension with vague promises that it is still “behind” the project. We demand that a definitive plan for the Green Line Extension be adopted.

Been hearing about this extension since I moved here in 2008. It feels like they have no intention of actually building it.
Commuting into town is a nightmare. This would change everything for so many people.
FIX THE T!!
Empty promises again. Stop delaying and show us a real schedule with actual construction dates.
Ridiculous that they keep pushing this back. We need real transit options now.

Somerville has been waiting forever for this. Just get it done already instead of making up excuses.
