MBTA service to Foxboro

Hi Medfield Selectman & Town Administrator

You may or may not be in the loop on this.  I got a call a week ago from a Selectman in Foxboro who mentioned that they were at a meeting where the MBTA mentioned the expansion into Foxboro.  This will have a big impact on WALPOLE and likely a BIG impact on Medfield.  We have made a series of calls to the MBTA – who have not called us back.  But it looks like the MBTA is planning to move ahead.  I have also asked Walpole Town Administrator to reach out to Michael Sullivan.

Thank you

Mark Gallivan
