Daily Item CEO Beth Bresnahan said commuter rail service does not meet transit riders’ needs. She said expanding the Blue Line “will provide economic opportunities currently beyond our reach.” State Rep. Brendan Crighton and Lynn City Council President Dan Cahill also spoke in favor of the expansion. David Mohler, the state’s transportation department’s planning director, said state oversight boards will vote on a final capital investment plan on May 23. Other proposed area projects including the $41 million Belden Bly Bridge replacement; $3.4 million to resurface Lynnfield Street from Wyoma Square to Great Woods Road and $15.4 million worth of Route 1 resurfacing work.
