3
Provide a map of the Green Line extension and the Route 16 station area, especially for those coming for the first time
Provide more basic information for people not aware of what's going on 2
Need to cut to the visioning portion of the meeting and let people talk instead of giving lectures 1
Have more meetings, on weekends, and make them shorter instead of 2.5 hour long meetings 1
Use examples of development around light and heavy rail instead of commuter rail 1
Need to address the gentrification/displacement issues associated with development 1
Meetings are too controlled, need less writing and more dialogue 1
You are not putting the project in full context, especially for those new to the process 1
Medford already has what you are trying to create, you are trying to sell the project and not inform in context. 1
Look at the Retrack System in Reno, Nevada. It is a depressed rail way 1

Visuals did not include any dog runs in the public spaces portion 1
No wildlife, all manmade, no vegetation, mature trees, plants, etc. 1
Pedestrian environment shown was sterile, look at sidewalks in Paris, Spain even California 1
It's a great idea for Medford to have the Green Line 1
Please give community members more time for questions 1
Please hold meetings for Route 16 in the neighborhood, i.e. near West Medford in one of the schools 3
I am vehemently opposed to you considering a "no-build" scenario, this has been studied to death 1
Topic of discussion at this meeting is not relevant to a potential Route 16 station. Look at local context first, then look at
1
what planning is needed around the station area.
There should be no parking at this station. This is what we've been told even before the MAPC process 1
Green Line should not be extended to Route 16 or College Avenue 1
I strongly support the building of the Green Line station at Route 16. This is our chance to establish the T in our community.
It will improve access to Boston/Somerville/Cambridge, improve quality of life, raise property values, and lead me to want to 1
live here for a long time.
If you commit to talking about a point in a future meeting, clearly state at the beginning that something was changed 1
Nice job Jennifer Raitt 1
Place visible notices in the newspapers, i.e. Globe North. 1
Meetings should start no earlier than 7:00PM 2
Please mail notices to people on the email and U.S. mail lists 1
Want "no-build" scenario open for discussion
Building the Green Line is a waste of money that could be spent on more important projects. This project won't have an air
quality benefit. 1
Lettering was too light in the newspaper, no legible 1
