Thanks to both of you for the information. Not sure why we’d be planning for surface parking at that location.
Oh come now, you know exactly why we'd be planning a surface parking lot at that location.
I do hope we get something good at the transit station. But even more than that, I hope we actually get a transit station. Frankly, the previous budgets for the transit station have been insane (same as the ION to Cambridge), further increasing the project's scope could threaten it's very existence. What I *would* like to see is more incrementalism. Stop paving some shitty parking lots everywhere, because it sets the precedent that the parking is provided and that the lot exists (and is a sunk cost), just build the station as planned, and leave it an empty lot next door, then when a plan for it arrives, do that then.
