The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
The State approved $100,000 to study extending the Orange Line to Roslindale. Match the state awarded $100K to study taking the extension as far as the WREC. We need transit and the school site is not accessible due to lack of transit options.
Who it helps and why
Expanding transit options would allow redevelopment of the school for a modern site and make it accessible for all BPS students.
