THE FACTS OF THE CASE are simple, on the surface. The MBTA plans to extend the Red Line to the Alewife Brook Parkway by sometime in 1982. Originally, the MBTA wanted to extend the line through Cambridge to Rte. 128, and they commissioned an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for that...
The suit, brought by a coalition that calls itself the Red Line Alert, charges the MBTA with violating three federal statutes regarding the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) the agency filed for the extension.
Spokesmen for the coalition said last night they will try to get a court to block construction until the MBTA conducts a new Environmental Impact Study (EIS) on its construction plans.
Silvio J. Scaglione, moderator of last night's meeting, said the last EIS, completed in August of 1977, is now completely outdated because the MBTA has made major changes in its construction plans.
Spokesmen cited several flaws in the EIS, including outdated information on the proposed Alewife Parkway station, increased congestion in construction areas, and differing methods of subway construction that the MBTA has proposed.
