whnaFrom the Patch: "The agency awarded the contract to Green Line Constructors, comprised of firms Fluor Enterprises, the Middlesex Corporation, Herzog Contracting Corp. and Balfour Beatty Infrastructure, Inc."
ETA: the main page of the GLX site currently says, under the November 17, 2017 project update, "The bid includes all six additive options and MBTA contingency. The inclusion of prioritized additive options means that in addition to track infrastructure and seven station stops, construction will include platform canopies, additional elevators at select stations, public art, additional community connection to the community path located on Chester Street in Somerville, extension of the community path between East Somerville and Lechmere Stations and an enhanced vehicle maintenance facility in Somerville."
There's also a Public Information Meeting on Monday night, 6-8pm, at Tufts Breed Memorial Hall, 51 Winthrop Street, specifically about the proposed extension from College Ave to Mystic Valley Parkway. Presently, the GLX/about page says about this: "At the request of the cities of Medford and Somerville, as well as the Boston Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), MassDOT agreed to move forward on this initial step of the environmental review process by filing this NPC. While no funding source or timeline for project construction has been established yet, the Mayors of Medford and Somerville and other elected officials urged MassDOT to begin this process while the GLX project to College Avenue is underway so that the project will be advanced and well positioned should funding become available."
