Page 18 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MARCH 25, 2022 BAKER | FROM PAGE 14 nolly. “Connecting the Environmental Justice communities of East Somerville to the MBTA’s rail network will take thousands of cars off the road, further reducing environmental burdens in this region. In addition, I am particularly pleased that this project will deliver the Community Path Extension and incorporate work from local artists.” Lechmere Station The former Lechmere Station opened with the completion of the East Cambridge Viaduct in 1912. It has served as the terminus point of the Green Line since that time. For the past several decades, the backbone of major economic development and job growth at Lechmere has been the long awaited GLX Project. The new Lechmere Station that opened as part of GLX is located on the viaduct on the north side of Monsignor O’Brien Highway. Featuring two headhouses located on North First Street and on East Street, the new Lechmere Station includes a new busway with four bus shelters, longer station platforms to accommodate the next iteration of Green Line “supercars,” storage for more than 250 bicycles (182 covered, 72 uncovered), covered platforms and three elevators. With the reopening of Lechmere, Bus Routes 69, 80, 87 and 88 will now use the new Lechmere Station busway on Water Street. Union Square Branch and Station Linking one of Somerville’s most highly populated residential and commercial centers to Boston and the rest of the MBTA system, the Union Square Branch of GLX that opened recently runs approximately one mile parallel to the Fitchburg Commuter Rail Line to Union Square in Somerville. The Union Square Branch’s City of Everett PLANNING BOARD 484 BROADWAY EVERETT, MA 02149 strategic location will contribute to an estimated removal of 26,000 vehicle trips per day from local streets and provide riders with a one-seat ride from Somerville to Fenway Park and the Longwood Medical Area. Union Square Station is also an important driver of local economic benefits that include significant job growth through developer investment and a stimulated commercial tax base in the area. With an entrance at Prospect Street in Somerville, Union Square Station features a platform canopy, longer station platforms to accommodate the next iteration of Green Line “supercars,”two customer assistance areas with emergency call boxes, five platform benches, bicycle storage areas and an elevator to/from the Prospect Street Bridge. GLX The GLX Project extends the Green Line approximately 4.7 miles along two branches – the Union Square Branch and the Medford Branch – from the relocated Lechmere Station in East Cambridge. The Medford Branch of GLX, which is anticipated to open in summer 2022, will run approximately 3.7 miles parallel to the Lowell Commuter Rail Line to College Avenue in Medford. Seven new stations were constructed as part of the project, including the relocated Lechmere Station, along with a new vehicle storage and maintenance facility in Somerville. When fully complete, Green Line trains will operate every five to six minutes in the peak periods, providing fast and efficient service in areas that did not previously have access to reliable public transit. GLX will also significantly reduce vehicle emissions on the road by supporting anticipated increased ridership and dramatically improve local and regional air quality when GLX is complete. About 20 percent of Somerville’s population is within walking distance of rail transit today, and 80 percent will be within walking distance to a station at the completion of the project. GLX was procured through a framework that set strict limitations on the project’s total cost while allowing bidders to include additive options ensuring the MBTA could procure a project that maximized the benefits without jeopardizing its budget. In addition to track infrastructure and seven station stops, construction included six additive options: platform canopies, additional elevators at select stations, public art, an extension of the community path with additional connections and an enhanced vehicle maintenance facility. The total project cost is nearly $2.3 billion, which includes other project components, such as real estate, professional services, contingency and the procurement of 24 new trains to augment the existing Green Line fleet. When fully complete, GLX will have installed 100,000 railroad ties, 21,000 linear feet (nearly four miles) of pilings, 22 million pounds of steel (which includes 16.5 million pounds of steel girders), 17 miles of permanent track and two miles of multiuse community path. ~ Legal Notice ~ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT LEGAL NOTICE EVERETT PLANNING BOARD PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE Public Hearing on an application by A10 Associates Property located at: 596 and 602-608 Broadway (“The 600”) Inclusionary Zoning Special Permit In accordance with the provisions of M.G.L Chapter 40A and with Section 32 of the Everett Zoning Ordinance, the Everett Planning Board will conduct a public hearing on Monday, April 4th, 2022 at 6:00PM in the Speaker George Keverian Room (Room 37, Everett City Hall) to consider the above-listed application for and Special Permit for Inclusionary Zoning.
