WHDH-TV (Channel 7) is coming to the Lincoln train station on Friday, March 13 at 3 p.m. to shoot video for a piece about the difficulties that physically handicapped riders face when trying to board the commuter rail at the Lincoln stop, which is not ADA-compliant.
The piece will be hosted by Sam Smink for Solve It 7. Carol DiGianni, a Ryan Estate resident, has been working to draw attention to the issue for Lincoln riders, including residents of Ryan Estate and Lincoln Woods and hopes others with mobility issues will come on Friday.
The state legislature passed a bill in 2018 that would allocate $500,000 for designing improvements to Lincoln’s MBTA station and commuter lot, but has yet to release the money despite repeated requests from town officials. Residents and the Board of Selectmen pressed the issue with state legislators again at a December 2019 forum.
