This thread has me down a hole of innovative stadium plans... Check out a (failed) bid to turn the decommissioned power plant into Chelsea's new home a decade ago http://www.gp-b.com/battersea-power-station...

Second option is that a LOT of college stadiums are able to cram a ton of uses into a really walkable and integrated semi-urban environment with the right master plan. EXAMPLE at University of Cincinnati:

The fan in me would love an Everton Bramley-Moore Dock style stadium, which is being built with a usable waterfront.

Have fun! https://donahue.umass.edu/business-groups/economic-public-policy-research/massachusetts-population-estimates-program/census-2020-data-for-massachusetts

...it's not the stadium. The stadium gets the funding mechanism and popular attention focus.

If they do the development timing right, this is exactly the plan. No reason to have giant parking lots here.

How big of a stadium do you think is appropriate? I could probably be convinced a 35-40,000 person stadium might actually have demand in the middle of Everett, especially if they're able to capitalize on a direct transit connections (silver, 111, etc) to large immigrant populations (instead of...

Blegh. What a missed opportunity to take back some pavement. Perfect spot to close/woonerf Beverly, extend some outdoor seating and maybe a stage with City Winery, and place a capstone sculpture on the Greenway. Instead we get whatever this highway dog park w a chair is...

More slow progress... MassDevelopment has partnered with six organizations to provide loan financing to Nubian Ascends Partners The Baker-Polito Administration was pleased to provide a $1.5 million MassWorks award last year to support design and permitting work for Nubian Square Ascends...

The towers might be coming down! https://www.wcvb.com/article/revere-high-rise-condemned-after-fire-massachusetts/40532677

How many of these do we have left? McGrath is the big one that sticks out, but we do have lots of opportunities for pedestrian walkways. "The U.S. Department of Transportation announced it is accepting applications for the Reconnecting Communities pilot program. This $1 billion discretionary...

Was that generator placement really never explored as potentially in the way of the bike path??

61 new units right next to a commuter rail stop, with a Whole Foods .5 mile walk away. There's a tiny commercial district about to get a little more attention. Good for Melrose. For the abutting proposal at 14 Chipman - any chance the parking elevators get the go ahead? I haven't see those...

New Bedford looking to jump on the TOD bandwagon... The more localities that figure this out the more likely a NSRL political wave can start. https://srpedd.org/comprehensive-planning/technical-assistance/new-bedford-transit-oriented-development-study/...

In a grounded McGrath world, this property will just face a 4-way intersection without any flyover, right? For reference, the 2013 proposed option that matches the reduced width best:

It's not infill... but it is a commitment to growth. "ExxonMobil has ceased operations at its Everett tank farm and is selling the site to a developer." 95 acres available, but we'll see how long the legal process lasts to clean it up...

I wish they had shifted the balconies to the "canyon" side of the building. The lack of sun will make those north side balconies have a limited usage.

Mayor Joe at Union with a brass band! Good for him having fun with his 20 year project.

Whats the best breakfast coffee shop along the new route Monday inbound? Theo's in NE is closed, Beatrice in CC is closed... The new Tatte in CC? Ran the 6 mile route this morning- it's a godawful street side path along McGrath. Can't wait for the separated path to open.

This article missed the core problem- the GLX isn't enough, and not by a long shot. Housing is a regional problem. Transit should be a regional solution. Of course the area is more desirable. It's a supply issue. Add more TOD throughout the area, try catch up with demand. Spreading out...
