What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Boston City Council voted to subpoena MBTA General Manager Phillip Eng after he missed an October 14 hearing regarding a $163 million Blue Hill Avenue redesign plan in Mattapan and Dorchester. During this time, Brian Worrell proposed an alternative plan to extend the Orange Line. The subpoena requires Eng to appear at the November 6 meeting to provide testimony on civil rights implications of rapid-transit inequities and the proposed Orange Line extension. The Council voted 8 to 5 in favor of the order.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The controversy centers on the Blue Hill Avenue redesign, which proposes center-running bus lanes and has faced opposition from residents and councilors who argue it would worsen traffic and eliminate parking for local businesses. The hearings are also tied to the civil rights implications of transit planning in neighborhoods with large Black populations.

The Boston City Council had previously subpoenaed the MBTA chief regarding the agency's transit plans.
