Return of Arborway service will face stiff resistance 

According to the Boston Globe, two new studies "question the wisdom of extending the Green Line into the Jamaica Plain Arborway, prompting the head of the MBTA to seek a meeting with state officials to determine if they want to forge ahead with a project that could cost up to $100 million." Proponents of the return of Green Line service to the Arborway face an uphill battle, and although I hope otherwise, may find that their project becomes the budgetary sacrificial lamb.

The Herald covered some of the reaction to these reports: "It was basically a secret study taken on by people who are not in favor of the project in the first place," said Franklyn P. Salimbene, chairman of the Arborway Committee. "The state will ultimately do the right thing even though the MBTA will be dragged kicking and screaming to it."
