Ouch. The new bridge is estimated to cost $177 million

This shouldn't stop the Wynn or Davis proposals, but definitely slows the stadium potential. Coming from a clean energy industry professional... this is the largest power plant in the state, and until we finally have the offshore power flowing and a few years of data, the conservative side of me...

Jeez guys, you're so impatient. They haven't relined the intersection since they started removing the flyover in 2003 - what's the hurry to fix it?

Every time I walk by I think they took influence from the Whiskey Priest drunken vision... The walls are leaning!

While I fully agree that the community path is already showing signs of poor design before it opens, I would stress that it is specifically NOT designed for rapid travel. It will be mobbed with walkers and Green Line takers on day 1. This already is being addressed, as parallel roads such as...

Worst case scenario... sued by a divorce lawyer... no mercy. ☠

...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...

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...
