It's only been in the past few weeks that the Globe has started running articles on the potential traffic impacts of the proposed casinos in Everett and Revere. I predict that this issue will turn out to be the deal breaker for one of the projects. When I look at the map of these areas north of Boston I start feeling claustrophobic. The tangle of waterways, neighborhoods, airports, and industrial parks are all served by twisting loops of obsolete roadways. I am sure that both casino companies have crack teams of traffic engineers working on plans, but if I were a resident near either facility I would be a little nervous.
Previously on this blog I have probably made statements to the effect that traffic is the price that cities pay for prosperity. Towers of ilium stands behind its contradictions.
