the parking area, but added there would be a number of other
issues. He said the T is committed to improving the Mansfield
Train Station regardless of parking expansion.
l
Planner Trombetta said he would lean toward expansion, but
that would depend on the terms and conditions. He suggested
phasing as traffic improvements are made. Planner French
agreed and suggested a resident's only lot. Planner Flynn
said she was opposed to expansion. Acting Clerk Bonda agreed,
saying she did not want to increase T ridership at Mansfield's
expense. Chairman McClanahan was in favor of expansion, but
