I think the garage needs significantly more footprint than the tower.

3 levels underground, approx. 1,000 cars per level, total 3,000 cars. You get about 100 cars per acre for non-tandem spaces, and accounting for ramps, so the garage floor plate needs to be about 10 acres. (Total site is 33 acres, I believe).

I would also suspect that a lot of the back of house support facilities are in the rest of the underground space.

Considering all the construction in Cambridge, this thing might eventually be filled >300 days per year.
 
Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett

The company also has returned to a smaller footprint for parking on the site, reducing previous plans from about 3,700 parking spaces to just over 2,900 spaces.

DeSalvio said the lower number is more in line with original projections for parking at the resort, with the fluctuation pegged to a desire to boost transit service and keep the number of cars flowing to the site lower.

Rick Moore, a consultant for the commission, said the revised number of parking spots should accommodate casino customers well enough, with about eight parking spots for every 10 gambling seats.

From the Wynn Site:
Wynn has committed more than $100 million to remediate traffic impacts and improve local roadways. Key areas covered by the Wynn transportation plan include:

Sullivan Square — An effective, short-term solution is being created that ties into Boston’s long-term plan. Wynn is also committed to fund planning and help realize Boston’s preferred Sullivan Square design. Wynn will jump start the improvement process which has been under discussion for more than 15 years.
Santilli Circle — A Route 16 flyover will eliminate the outdated Santilli Circle, elevate Route 16 and create a modern interchange system that keeps traffic flowing.
Sweetser Circle and Revere Beach Parkway — Access lanes will be widened and the circle will be modernized to relieve congestion. Improvements will also be made to intersections along Revere Beach Parkway.
Lower Broadway (Route 99) — A four-lane boulevard will be created with new turn lanes, ultra-modern ‘smart’ lights, upgraded street lights and furniture, trees and a landscaped median.
Wellington, Malden and Sullivan Square T Stations — Continuous shuttle service will be provided for guests and employees travelling to the resort via public transportation.
Water Shuttle/Taxis — Will transport guests year round throughout Boston’s Inner Harbor.

Yes, that's all well and good but what about the TRAFFIC?

Wynn did a bit of bait and switch on the parking reduction. They put 700 spaces off-site with a shuttle. The traffic is still there, just not quite to the casino location directly (but close by).

If you disperse traffic across enough time and distance, it becomes a much gentler problem.

DrFreeWind -- Thanks that puts it better into context -- otherwise a whole is just a hole with a w in front or something of that nature

By the way

Happy New Year to All -- but before 2016 goes enjoy that extra Leap Second ;) :cool:

We'll have to wait and see if they actually dispersed the traffic far enough. The off-site spaces are not very far away, and are right off Route 16, one of roads with a lot of traffic concerns (casino related and others).

I thought that the purpose of the slurry wall is to keep water from flooding the construction site and planned buildings.

Looks like water is seeping through the holes at the bottom of the wall.
 
Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett

Is the steel for the tall hotel portion or does that come later?
 
Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett

^^^ According to the picture shown in #525, this thread, the tower is much further south. This steel is at the very northern edge of the site. Like beyond the lower edge of the red square.

I was told the Big Dig was unusual in hoping that its slurry walls would be waterproof (their main job is holding back unstable soil while a real wall is built) and that most slurry walls are paired with an inner wall that supplies the waterproofing.
 
Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett

I believe the Big Dig tried to economize by dropping the inner wall and relying on the slurry walls to handle the seepage, with no additional dewatering infrastructure.
 
Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett

The ACKS 50 Binney garage has no inner wall, just the exposed (weeping) slurry wall.

You think Seaport traffic is bad?----Wait till Bostonians wake up and realize this casino will affect everybody across the board for Traffic even going 93 N-S-

Wynn---This Casino is situated for armageddon traffic scenario for Boston.

I would have rather seen this casino built in the Seaport.

Another Democratic Union fuckjob claiming we need jobs. How about the Quality of life for the surrounding community families. Instead everybody will be wasting their time sitting in traffic.
 
Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett

How many times have we established that casino traffic is off peak therefore avoids th 9-5 crush...
