This change will have significant negative impacts to not only East Somerville residents but also the school communities of the East Somerville Community School and (displaced) Winter Hill Community Innovation School. Cross St is already jam packed with cars at dropoff and pickup; eliminating transit options will only make this worse.

The 90 rerouting is being attributed to planned mobility improvements to Tufts St (the MBTA claims this "requires" 90 bus rerouting), but the Tufts St plans were developed and tested in collaboration with the MBTA so this is disingenuous and misleading IMO.

This draft email contains some talking points - obv feel free to pick, choose, edit - and will be directed to relevant MBTA teams as well as City of Somerville - the mayor and the Mobility team (who have monthly meetings with the MBTA and have requested to be looped in on outreach so that they can amplify concerns in that venue) - and also Reps. Mike Connolly and Erika Uyterhoeven for good measure, why not.
