alternative 4 has not been eliminated and will be considered. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Peggy Groppo Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2001 12:18 PM To: Laura Mattei; Steven W. Orr; Framingham Neighbors Cc: Sue Bernstein; Stephen Johnson Subject: Re: To Frambors (fwd) Alternative 4 was voted down. All resolutions were referred back to sponsor, meaning last year's vote stands. And according to town counsel, last year's vote gave the selectman the power to do whatever they wanted. And yes, the two options you mention are the only ones being considered at this time. The financial information was not reviewed thoroughly, and the logic behind the estimates for the different routes was not explained. So town meeting members only heard that Carter Drive approach will cost the town $800,000 and the Wayside Inn approaches won't cost the town anything. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Laura Mattei" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Peggy Groppo'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Steven W.
