Who told you that WYNN?

The area is already a nightmare. How much worse could it get right?

Always the absolute worst form of cogitation one can commit in Rifleman's knee-jerk, emotional, grossly oversimplified, reductionist, and highly adversarial mental universe...

Rifle is at times a troll who likes to repeat the same arguments over and over again while at the same time ignoring the points of other posters. We should stop taking the bait. (To be fair most of his crazy arguments are on the politics thread and away from the regular fourm).

I just kind of guessed he commutes through that area daily or something, in regards to constant whining about traffic induced by the wynn.
 
Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett

Yeah, if we had less jobs people wouldn't be stuck in traffic driving to work!! If community families are out of work, they would be better off. Sounds right. . . NOT
 
Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett

LOL at thousands of people getting in their cars at 5pm on a Tuesday in February to drive down/up 93 to get to the casino. That's just not going to happen except in Steve Wynn's wet dreams.

Would probably reduce cars on the road if more people decided to go to the casino during rush hours.

This is correct. Wynn's capacity for several thousand people to dine, shop, gamble, drink, or catch a show could definitely have a more balancing impact of car travel times on I-93.

I recently moved to NH for work and became aware of just how many people commute across the border daily for their jobs to Greater Boston... it's something like 60,000+ cars per day (*don't quote me on that, I'll look it up later). If even a fraction of those people adjusted their commute times to stop at Wynn or Assembly Row for happy hour and hit the road after 7PM instead, it should have a markedly positive impact on rush hour traffic north of the city.

That's what I am thinking. A food and entertainment area with plenty of parking near the highway could provide a nice pressure relief valve for traffic heading North. Sit in traffic or meet some friends for dinner. Takes a couple thousand cars off the roads during peak times and speads it out a couple hours later. A 2000 car garage at Sullivan square with shuttle would have an even better effect on traffic.

Similarly on the expressway if they ever built a garage at JFK/Umass and an entertainment complex around a soccer stadium they could relieve peak traffic going South.

Anyone drive by for photos the last few days? I thought I saw steel going up in earnest
 
Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett

I think I can speak for my 2 year old son in saying OMG SO MANY CRANES! AWESOME! WHOA.
 
Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett

Is this a record number of cranes for a construction (some sort of building) project in the immediate Boston area?

I was just wondering this very same thing. Anyone recall how many cranes were on site when they built the convention center?
 
Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett

What building is that, already going up behind the blue thingy with the T sign on it?

Google, actually.

Rife, look up any urban Casino in Google Maps, and [if it has been open at least a year] it should have a bar chart showing the time of day the place is busy (counted by tracking phone coordinates). It proves that they absolutely do not add loads to the morning rush (which is the most peak-crush in Boston due to narrow work-start window 8a to 9a). Evening rush is more spread (not as easy to disrupt with Casino traffic.

See the "popular times" box at left in any one of these:
Philadelphia waterfront (SugarHouse Casino)
Harrah's Philadelphia (just south of PHL airport)
JACK Cleveland Casino
JACK Cincinnati Casino

On weekdays, all of the above show REAL DATA that arrivals are a gentle net trickle inflow all day until 8pm, with the weekday outflow starting at 9pm.

By contrast, let's pick some other "office rush" locations like Post Office Square (you are obligated to click on that link, Rife, and see how different a rush houred place is "shaped")

Or South Station, check out its busy curve.

No signficant WYNN Rush
QED.
