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.
