For those of you who are following the Green Line Extension closely there is a meeting tonight at Somerville High School. I’ll be attending this meeting and blogging about it later tonight so those who can’t make it will have a general idea of how the extension is progressing.

November 18, 2009 at 6:00 pm
Somerville High School – Auditorium
81 Highland Avenue, Somerville, MA 02143

Members of the public, agency representatives, and other project stakeholders are invited to attend the hearing and to make comments on the project.

Public comments on the DEIR/EA should be made to the Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs, through the Commonwealth’s MEPA process. The federal government conducts its own review of the document to ensure adequacy of the document under the federal National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, and accepts public comment to the NEPA process in two ways: First, the comments made at the November 18 Public Hearing will be included in a transcript that will be submitted to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Second, EOT will compile the comment letters submitted to through the MEPA process, along with responses to these comments, and provide them to FTA after the completion of the comment period.

All written comments must be submitted to:
Secretary Ian Bowles
Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs
MEPA Office
Attn: Holly Johnson, MEPA Analyst

100 Cambridge Street, Suite 900
