Boston city councilor plans to seek legal action after T general manager fails to attend hearing

A Boston city councilor plans to pursue legal action against the leader of the MBTA for not appearing at a hearing, despite being issued a subpoena. Last week, the City Council voted to subpoena T general manager and interim transportation secretary Phil Eng to testify about the controversial Blue Hill Avenue redevelopment project. The hearing, co-sponsored by councilors Miniard Culpepper and Brian Worrell, was a follow up meeting to discuss civil rights and transportation equity — in addition to the possibility of bringing an Orange Line extension to Blue Hill Avenue.
