opening of the Fore River Bridge during rush hour. Last week,the bridge was raised for an hour during the rush
hour and traffic backed up for many miles in both directions. Member Brewer will bring this up at the next MAPC
meeting to see if other Towns in the area are equally annoyed and, if as a group,they can approach the appropriate

who has jurisdiction over the schedule and operation of the bridge.
