We are going through the same issues in East Bridgewater. The town keeps quiet on most of this stuff.
We have MBTA stations in every surrounding town all within less than a 15 min drive. The MBTA proposed site is on land that is contaminated. Nobody has ever been able to use this land because of the condition. Yet, this is where they are considering.
Also, there is a proposed site for new apartment buildings containing 240 units.
25% will be dedicated to low income. The proposed site is on wetlands.
All of this can and most likely will happen because of special permits.
I vote no!
There’s a reason why I live in this town! Because I don’t want to live in a city.
This will hurt your town!
If the MBTA comes in and new housing comes in… the deliveries from Amazon, food deliveries, peapod etc…. The new traffic, the possible bad news that may come in to the town. What about the young kids that might hop on the train/ bus … that scares me a lot.
What about the loss of Uber, other transport jobs. I know a lot of my teacher friends who do this type of work to help support their household.
Goodluck to your town! I hope it goes the tax payers way!
