    Crazy Transit Pitches

    Yeah, it would be very busy but is there any way around this? This is pretty much the only way out of Everett to the south towards Somerville/Charlestown and it interfaces with the parkway. I think regardless of how you rebuild it, you will still be dealing with a lot of traffic in this area...

    Crazy Transit Pitches

    I've been excited about the Everett Docklands and Soccer Stadium (I still have an unreasonable amount of hope ) projects and got a bit carried away crayoning out a transit-oriented redesign of Sweester Circle using as much of the existing bridge structures as possible. The goal is a...

    Potential Exelon Mystic Station Redevelopment | Everett

    Standing room is counted and it's pretty much a given that there will be some sort of standing supporters section on one side of the stadium and very likely two decks of seating on 2 or 3 sides as that's what you see in all modern MLS stadiums. Yeah the space is limited with the current...

    Franklin Park - White Stadium Renovation

    The BPDA Board has just approved this private-public renovation project. I'm not sure what the next steps in the timeline are, but I'm hoping they can get shovels in the ground as soon as possible. The ongoing lawsuit has a hearing early next year but the consensus seems to be that it holds...

    Potential Exelon Mystic Station Redevelopment | Everett

    No personal attack on you @DZH22 but I think you're just missing the point of this stadium entirely. You're trying to dig your heels in on the American exceptionalism angle that centers/ glorifies burning fossil fuels in smokestacks or car engines and sports that are the best in the world...

    Potential Exelon Mystic Station Redevelopment | Everett

    The extension of the Silver Line was just recently funded by the federal government. It's already in place to be built, and it benefits the residents of Everett especially those who need it the most. "The existing MBTA bus routes that operate along this alignment are more likely to serve people...

    Potential Exelon Mystic Station Redevelopment | Everett

    While the traffic is certainly an issue as it stands, it's important to note that the stadium is transit-focused with almost no on-site parking for fans. The stadium proposal is leaning heavily on the Orange Line (15-20 minute walk) and an extended Silver Line in a dedicated busway down...

    Potential Exelon Mystic Station Redevelopment | Everett

    As mentioned earlier, any design posted is just a placeholder seemingly rushed for a press opportunity. Any discussion on what the stadium will look like and how/if it will incorporate the existing buildings is either ongoing or hasn't happened yet. Here are some images of MLS stadiums that are...

    Fantasy T maps

    Wow, thanks for all the info and thorough responses. Below are some further explanations or questions. Tobin Bridge Indigo Line My rough Google Earth measurements have the length of the bridge from ground level to the highest point at ~5000 ft on the Charlestown side and ~4000 ft on the...

    Fantasy T maps

    Hey everyone, I've been lurking for a while and got around to making my own fantasy T map. I call it Giga MBTA and it’s inspired by a lot of the helpful info on this forum along with a few ideas that I like. I tried to not make it entirely crazy by looping in projects that are being proposed in...

    Redesign the Urban Ring

    Hey everyone, I’ve been following your conversations for the past few months and got super excited about a bunch of the ideas shared on the forum. I went ahead and tried to map out a somewhat realistic route for a continuous urban ring with the lowest barrier to entry. The route is inspired...
