By way of <br />background, I am an electrical engineer who served the Town of Cohasset, MA as a volunteer <br />through the 3 year long EIS and _Section 106 application and hearings for the reconstruction of a 28 <br />mile commuter rail line that was constructed on a totally abandoned railroad right of way. The <br />project ended up being a hornless system and we utilized some interesting crossing designs that are <br />substantially lower cost from the talked -about "quad gates." <br />I was then _hired by the Town to act as a liaison on behalf of the Town during construction. There <br />issues as varying as "a truck ran over Mrs Smith's petunias" to incorrectly placed drain lines that <br />would not permit the required drainage. <br />I think I can offer some valuable insights to the County that may help provide a better outcome for <br />I am neither pro nor against the railroad project. But dealing with such a project is a very <br />complicated, involved and highly technical project, where desirable outcomes for the residents can <br />be nudged by taking appropriate actions. <br />If you have any questions, please contact me at 772-539-0292 or via this email address. <br />Thomas L.
