And the MGH Spaulding parking lot adjacent to the CR tracks. Many more acres of potential urbanity here, with great transit accessThat photo gives me the same vibe someone mentioned about the view of the Omni at the Seaport from South Station, the idea that the city continues on and doesn't just end at a specific point. This tower's going to help that feeling from this vantage point.
If only something could be done with the Nashua St. Jail, then we'd really be cooking.
Isn't the T eying the space next to the CR tracks for potential future North Station expansion and a 3rd Drawbridge?And the MGH Spaulding parking lot adjacent to the CR tracks. Many more acres of potential urbanity here, with great transit access
Looks to me like there isn't any way to do that without demolishing some buildings. I have heard something about a third draw, but not anything about additional platforms.Isn't the T eying the space next to the CR tracks for potential future North Station expansion and a 3rd Drawbridge?
Could, of course, develop over those tracks. Process could even help pay for the expansion.
Once the 11/12 tracks are reactivated (currently in RFP, already demarcated from the parking lot) the NS concourse won’t have realistic expansion options. Which is fine, because in a world where NS needs more than 12 platforms worth of capacity, the best option will likely be NSRLIsn't the T eying the space next to the CR tracks for potential future North Station expansion and a 3rd Drawbridge?
