The last of the GLX to be reviewed for GA status, and I will be more than delighted to review it. I will have my thoughts ready within the next 7 days. Aria1561 (talk) 21:10, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Lead
 * located at College Avenue in Medford, Massachusetts – prose states otherwise, stating that it is located off Boston Avenue near College Avenue. I suggest changing the sentence in the lead to represent what is stated in the prose, especially since the entrance is located on Boston Avenue and not College Avenue.
 * Would it be worth mentioning in the lead that Medford/Tufts serves as the northern terminus for the Green Line E branch?
 * Would it be worth mentioning in the lead that Medford/Tufts serves as the northern terminus for the Green Line E branch?

Station design
 * The platform is 8 inches (200 mm) high for accessible boarding on current light rail vehicles (LRVs), and can be raised to 14 inches (360 mm) for level boarding with Type 9 and Type 10 LRVs – should be changed to raised to 14 inches (360 mm) for future level boarding for consistency with other GLX articles as well as what is stated in the source.

Railroad stations
 * the Public Utilities Commission approved a vast set of cuts to Boston and Maine Railroad commuter service – add B&M abbreviation since it is used later in this section (consistency with other abbreviations used in the article).
 * ✅ (by virtue of adding a new sentence higher up)

Previous plans
 * the BERy indicated plans to built three additional radial subways – change "built" to "build".
 * one paralleling the Midland Branch through Dorchester – add link to Dorchester, Boston.
 * Consideration was also given to extension past North Cambridge over the Lexington Branch – add link to Lexington Branch.
 * These included an extension from Lechmere to Woburn over the Southern Division – remove link to Woburn as the town was already linked in the previous paragraph.
 * it would have a branch following the Southern Division to Arlington or Woburn – add link to Arlington, Massachusetts.

 * it would have a branch following the Southern Division to Arlington or Woburn – add link to Arlington, Massachusetts.

Station planning
 * and the ability to avoid modifiying the College Avenue and Winthrop Street bridges – change "modifiying" to "modifying".
 * and was thus not supported by MassDOT – add link to MassDOT.
 * and was thus not supported by MassDOT – add link to MassDOT.

Redesign
 * No notes.

Construction
 * No notes.

Images
 * Looks good, no notes.

References
 * Ref 74 is currently dead and needs to be archived.

Overall
 * Brilliantly written article, only a couple small issues that need fixing and this article will be good to go for GA status. On hold for 7 days. Aria1561 (talk) 01:57, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
