Jamaica Plain Neighborhood Council: "By a vote of 14 to 2, the Jamaica Plain Neighborhood Council on February 27, 2001, reaffirmed its long-standing support for the restoration of Green Line service to the Arborway. The JPNC supports restoration in part because of the social and economic benefits that flow from the significant public investment in the community that restoration represents."

Franklin Park Coalition: "The Coalition believes that restoration of Green Line service could greatly facilitate our long-term goal of limiting the intrusion of automobiles into the park environment. We believe that additional track could be run from the restored Green Line into...Franklin Park making it possible for people to access the Park without an automobile."

Washington Street Corridor Coalition: "Like Washington Street, the Arborway line has been underserved and neglected by the MBTA. Route 39 bus service is poor; ridership is down. We support light rail for Jamaica Plain as well as Washington Street."

Federation for Public Transportation: "The Federation for Public Transportation is an alliance of neighborhood organizations in Boston working for improved public transit to Boston's neighborhoods. We support Arborway light rail service because it will increase transit ridership, decrease reliance upon the automobile, and improve the quality of life for the neighborhoods served by the line."

Alliance of Boston Neighborhoods: "A comprehensive cost/benefit analysis, considering environmental, health, and life-cycle equipment and roadway maintenance factors, will show that LRVs are a far better investment than buses in our transportation and in our community well-being. The Alliance of Boston Neighborhoods supports the restoration of Arborway Green Line service to Jamaica Plain because a healthy urban environment depends on reducing the number of motor vehicles driven in the city."
