There is some news regarding the long, slow process to extend the Green Line through Somerville. The state has recommended that the extension go beyond the Tufts campus to the Mystic River (right; image borrowed from the Boston Globe), complying with what InsideMedford.com calls "extensive public support".
I know that some UEPers have been following this much, much more closely than I have. It would be good to hear their takes. What is the state's word worth here? Are we within a couple decades of this finally happening or what?
