Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.)
From the article:
"Extension Extinction?
NorthPoint?s troubles have set the relocation of the Green Line?s Lechmere Station back several years. That, in turn, has threatened the entirety of the $600 million Green Line extension to Somerville and Medford, which the state is legally mandated to complete by the end of 2014."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why not temporarily leave the existing Lechmere station in place for a few years, branch off of the existing viaduct on the north side of O'Brien Highway with the new line with a temporary track connection, and build the new station with public funds later?
