Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium A stadium would necessitate transit upgrades in the area, which could be a good thing in that it will highlight failures with the current system and will make more people have a stake in Seaport transit. A possible stopgap to alleviate transportation issues could...

I had the idea of redeveloping the Bayside Expo Center into an Athlete's Village earlier in the thread. If thats where the committee wants to center the Olympics, then they'd be much better off in redeveloping the South Bay Shopping Center though.

Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium The Revolution are going to eventually rebrand. Their current branding is abysmal and the only reason that it has lasted, crayon logo and everything, is because thats how little the ownership cares. Any ownership group that moves the team to Boston would drop New...

Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium I think if Providence wants another professional sports venue then they should try to get the Red Sox to move their AAA affiliate to town or see if anyone local wants to start up an NASL franchise. Going back to what Mike Ross said in the Globe a few pages back...

Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium Boston is a much, much larger city and more powerful TV media market than Providence or any other city in New England. There is not a single compelling reason to locate in Providence over Boston. Traveling from Boston to Providence is much more feasible than...

Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium Hartford is the only other city in New England that could even theoretically support a major league sports team and even then they would have serious problems with providing a competent product due to being such a small market. Also good luck getting any notable...

There is also an underground river underneath Forsyth, which would make a tunnel between the Northeastern stop and Ruggles impractical. This is also why Northeastern's tunnel system doesn't exist west of Forsyth Street. Also, Northeastern is an above ground T stop so there would be no where to...

Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium Harvard Stadium probably has a bunch of scheduling issues as well.

Would work better if you put them on top of each other imho.

It looks very tacky.

Where would the second tower base go?

Try using another image sharing site, like imgur.

Heh, Greenbush Line is missing from the service area map at the end.

lol

If the B and C Lines had some stop consolidation it would allow for a lot more leeway in representing them on a map. I wonder if when the T gets around to doing stop consolidation on these lines if they would go back to having the B-C-D converging at the reservoir or just stick with the current...

Re: I-90 Interchange Improvement Project (Allston) I don't think he is saying they would be removed due to pollution or safety related issues but instead gentrification.

Does this plan also eliminate the E Line, because the D Line would cover 95% of the E Line. If so, then a Green Line extension to Needham could be constructed without effecting current Green Line frequencies as the Needham branch would become the new E Line. (Although it would also mean giving...

Well this is a bad idea: City Looks to Re-Open Northern Avenue Bridge to Cars

Re: I-90 Interchange Improvement Project (Allston) It's possible that the suburban proposals were purposefully bad in order to make the third proposal look like the best option.
