Massachusetts trying to reneg on Green Line extension!
Dear fellow Somervillians (recent and present):
Next Tuesday, the State of Massachusetts will begin formalizing the process of backing out of its environmental commitments to the City of Somerville. The process began earlier this year when the Senate and Governor's office refused to allocate funding from the 2005-2008 state budget for key transportation initiatives affecting the city.
One of these initiatives is the Green Line Extension, one of several binding committments the state made in the early 1990s to compensate cities like Somerville for the environmental impact made by the Big Dig.
The City of Somerville needs your help! The Green Line Extension (several maps are available) would not only provide environmental benefits, but health, transportation and commercial benefits as well. And these are all at risk!
Make a difference! First, learn more. The website www.somervillestep.com provides a comprehensive background.
Next, tell other people about it! I'm attaching a flyer that you could print out and share with other folks in your neighborhood. Pass this e-mail on to friends!
Next, do something about it! Attend the public meeting next Tuesday at the Massachusetts State House. Tell the state what you think about reneging on this important promise.
