Worcester notes

Worcester Mayor Timothy Murray is lobbying for more commuter trains to Boston . Expanded commuter rail service for Worcester , he says, could alleviate congestion and air pollution generated by the long commute to Boston from MetroWest areas and Worcester . In a report on the matter, he also pointed to research conducted by Holy Cross students in a Community-Based Learning coursethat showed asthma hospitalization rates falling in Boston in recent years while they have increased in Worcester and Springfield . . . Marshalee Ellis-Kehlhem has been named Development Director of the South Worcester Neighborhood Improvement Corporation, and is working with the College on a number of new initiatives . . . In downtown Worcester, construction has begun on a new 200-room hotel, slated to open in the summer of 2006. Adjacent to the DCU Center , the Hilton Garden Inn will be connected to both the DCU Center and the Worcester Center Boulevard parking garage via a pedestrian skybridge.
