Watertown residents concerned about how the town is served by public transportation are invited to join a discussion this week.
The newly formed Watertown Task Force on Public Transit will meet for the first time on Thursday, May 1 at the Watertown Free Public Library in the Trustee’s Room at 7 p.m.
The town has officially requested the MBTA to engage in dialog about the state of public transit in town, and the task force is gathering comments from residents.
“We are going to set up a permanent body of citizens to debate and talk about public transit issues, and bring up ideas and propose solutions to the state representatives and the MBTA,” said Joe Levendusky, a resident who helped start the task force. ”

The meeting will help lay out the comments that will be presented to Beverly Scott, general manager of the MBTA, who is expected to attend a Town Council meeting on May 27, Levendusky said.
The task force is an initiative of Sustainable Watertown. For more information visit www.sustainablewatertown.org or email watertowntransit@earthlink.net.
