I think I remember seeing that a lot of the embankment walls are still up adjacent to Terrace st...

On the whole, it would be a shame if the station could only be funded if it's right behind Encore. There is a lot of potential space for long-term development with Gateway Center, Lower Broadway, and Everett Shops, but this station really needs to be closer to Sweetser Circle to be accessible to...

I did some more looking into this underpass excerpt, and I think I was wrong to infer there might be a second bridge in the planning. It appears that the underpass is a planned phase 2 for the Alford Street Harborwalk Project. It uses a partially existing underpass alongside the Alford St...

The most interesting detail from the Globe article to me was "Eventually, the stadium and casino properties will be connected by a waterfront walkway under Route 99, with help from $2 million from the Krafts included in the Everett agreement." This would seem to facilitate the pedestrian...

Seems like one of the better, more well-rounded Globe articles tbh. I've read too many articles that focus almost entirely on the opinions of a few vocal neighbors. This article included the criticism, as well as positive reaction, advocate/expert perspectives, and most importantly data. This...

Like @SteelyTom mentioned, there is a consistent sort of layout/template that you see in recent MLS stadium designs for seating. However the exteriors do tend to be very different. Most of them tend to have a modern/sleek design that is much more oriented to the future. Many of these teams with...

I thought the same thing haha, but it's legit from the team along with a brand new webpage https://www.revolutionsoccer.net/everett-stadium The design will obviously change a bunch, but it's interesting that they are doubling down on the preliminary render which many of us thought was just a...

In terms of the business missteps 1 and 2 - This was pretty much the same thing. Agreed this was a terrible rollout of the new brand pushed through by the higher ups before they had hired any actual knowledgeable marketing staff. However, I think they have made terrific business decisions since...

If both teams were owned by Kraft it would make sense for both to play in that stadium, but they are separate owners with competing interests. Having your own stadium has been shown to be the greatest marker for investor success in modern American soccer, hence why you are seeing so many new...

The team is paying over 50% of the cost for the entire stadium and the 100% of maintenance moving forward for less than 5% of programmable hours. Not to mention $500,000 (increasing by 3% each year) to local organizations and initiatives in a community annual fund and up to $11,000 ($1 per...

Yeah I think it's an interesting idea, definitely worth considering within the scope of just Brockton because it provides the best possible frequency, but I don't think it's better on much else. I don't mean to downplay the cost of a fourth track through Quincy, it's going to be an incredible...

I appreciate the desire to serve the largest population center between Quincy and Providence/Fall River/ New Bedford, especially compared to the much smaller cities and towns surrounding it. However, it seems a lot better value on the whole to increase Brockton service through CR rather than...

Yeah, that's been my thinking too. - You avoid a lot of grade crossings through town if you eventually shift Haverhill traffic to Wildcat - It might be even closer to the town center on rt28 - There's a lot more TODable parcels close by in the long run, with parking lots and an old...

- Genocide in Palestine - Lack of a primary - Worsening material conditions, like crippling medical debt, the cost of living, and childcare - Failure to present any inspiring vision beyond the status quo - Corporate corruption and disproportionate increase in wealth for the very rich -...

I'm not feeling very convinced that it's all that cost-effective to go past Lynn. Mostly due to the station reconfigurations. There is room in most of the ROW for 4 tracks (notably the Forest River Conservation Area looks very tight and potentially fraught with environmental concerns), but is...

Even better yet, I believe that overlook plaza is elevated higher than the rest of the park. I'm not sure exactly how high up it gets and I know that the northern headhouse is the one provisioned for the crossing but you might be able to use a ramp to connect the southern headhouse to the...

Absolutely. I know this is far off crayoning, but sending the blue line up Lynnway puts you much closer to the center of density

I believe that image is taken from the mbta bus priority toolkit to show the different street treatments. So not a 1 to1 but more a general example. I think the streetmix example showing bike lanes is a positive sign...

So when they develop the Wellington station parking lot/ air rights in the future, there's no chance of a massive bus maintenance facility limiting TOD now, right?

Can someone help me to understand the larger picture of what's going on here? Reports/articles like this come out talking about how rent prices are falling in specific metro areas and they attribute that directly to building more housing. But I also find reports from reputable websites saying...
