List of Opponents to the Bypass Continues to Grow
Links below are to letters of opposition written by organizations or officials to the Federal Railroad Administration. We don’t yet have links to all documents. If we’ve missed anything, please let us know.
The opposition to the Old Saybrook to Kenyon Bypass in the NEC Future Final EIS is truly impressive and now even includes the NEC Commission which represents the state DOT Directors and Rail Operators in the Northeast Corridor. SECoast, CCA, and other groups have been working very hard to reach out and engage the largest number of people and organizations.
You can still help with this effort by continuing to send your comments to NEC Future at info@necfuture.com.
