Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett I don't want to see the Haverhill Line lose Malden, but I'd say it'd be for the greater good. Sullivan would be used more than Malden, in my opinion. Plus Rockburyport trains could also use it. The problem is it is tight confines and until we're talking about...

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett Sullivan Sq stop on the commuter rail, please. Fuck, don't stop at Malden anymore for all I care. EDIT: actually I do care.

Honestly, if I were developer in DTX or even somewhere like Assembly, I'd be looking to create a subsidiary business to host places such as those mentioned above. It would make the building or neighborhood I'm creating more fun, much more attractive and enticing, and help any tenant businesses...

Could this be built without a zoning variance? If it is zoned for 775', then anything 775' and under is fair game on that end. What about the rest of the details? Could this be put through without community input?

Don't worry, you nailed it.

The solid 1% grade for 10+ miles is already too taxing on the freights. I had many a stalled train that I had to deal with. :rolleyes: 2% would be brutal, Pan Am is not equipped to handle it. They'd have to have extra locomotives and crews set aside just to make assists.

And that is precisely why Gardner will never make economic or ridership sense. The purpose of Wachusett was to serve Gardner (via Rt 2 Park & Ride catchment) while still being time competitive with car for the rest of the way into Boston. Carving out a 2 mile tunnel will never be justified on...

I was really surprised to see the apartment building steel going up, straddling over the new parking garage. I had no idea that was happening, and it is much taller than anything I expected. I thought everything would be pretty much the same height except for Partners'.

No one is preserving it, it is just... there. There's utilities in there that need accessing and a little flex storage space if needed. Why take the expense of filling it in? Plus having to reallocate utilities. I believe F Line once said that it *might* be useful for an Urban Ring type deal...

Great vantage points, thanks for sharing those. Can't wait to see this progress. This is well past due.

I'm surprised there's no Jill Stein votes, yet.

As if there wasn't enough boring election talk literally everywhere else, we now get to have a thread on our architecture and development forum. Sweet, so excited to see where this discussion goes. :rolleyes:

Re: Amtrak / Regional Rail Discussion Thread I called it! No idea how it will actually play out beyond this point, though. Pathetic petty crap on both sides. No, the MBTA shouldn't being paying them shit, but still absurd that they're both doing this tit for tat shit.

Whigh, you're argument here is ridiculous since Assembly was being market as the place that would have Ikea as the anchor tenant, and it was still built long after those hopes were dashed and no new anchor was sealed. The Assembly Mall and Orange Line had more to do with Assembly's Rows success...

This is no Draw 3. This will be two spans which together will be centered on the same centerline as we have presently. There is room. A Tower A signal bungalow and the Tower A structure have to be demolished for one track, and there's plenty of room on the other side for the other track. Also...

Could be Wonderland. Fingers crossed, keep an eye out.

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett Replacing all bridge spans over the Malden River, Rivers Edge Dr, Commuter Rail, and Orange Line.

It is too premature to say right now. As it is, all GLX related projects have either ground to a halt or are at a bare minimum. You could probably count with your fingers the number of construction workers doing GLX-related projects right now, and that was a couple months ago, might be none now.

Throw-back.

You linked to the same siding twice. That siding also seems a bit sketchy for meets. It is definitely not for rolling meets. It is more like whoever is taking the hole is going to stop for a minute or two (assuming no delays turning it into 5 or 10 minutes). I'd like to see the double track...
