ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit
#41
(02-10-2017, 03:47 PM)Viewfromthe42 Wrote: The question about the Preston stop is, how does the neighbourhood respond? They should be being asked about redevelopment and intensification. If they are insistent on not having any of that, then the stop, frankly, can go too. It's already listed as the worst one (IIRC) for any kind of intra- or inter-modal transfers, so the only incentive for going to Preston would be to welcome Preston into a future built for all of us.

I don't know that residents should have that kind of control over their city. It's kind of a question of at what point NIMBYism becomes reasonable.

On the other hand, if this group of residents is willing to and able to mobilize effective resistance to redevelopment, than that should be considered in the value estimation of the stop.
