Dear residents of Precinct 7,

A few of your elected Town Meeting Members have received suggestions that a discussion on the upcoming MBTA Communities vote is of interest to the community at large. Therefore, Precinct 7 Town Meeting Members have scheduled a public discussion on this topic on August 1st (Thursday), 7 pm, at the Reading Public Library’s Community Room (bottom floor).

You are encouraged to attend the Town-hosted meeting “Refined and Narrowing Concepts” the day before, on July 31st (Wednesday), at 7 pm, at the Reading Public Library Community Room. This will allow us to have an informed, up-to-date discussion on the subject. 

Anticipated questions about the P7 Meeting, along with answers, are below. Hope to see you there.
