I just want to say, on the subject of the Arena, Im all for a Center city arena, but this one concerns me. I do think it has potential to revitalize the area, to bring foot traffic one or two nights a week.
BUT there are too many things that can go wrong as well, the stadium could have negative effects on Jefferson station (More columns, less light, reduced openness etc) It could infact hurt chinatown a lot, look at DC,
I think there to much that can go wrong, we need protections, we need assurances from them that Jefferson station wont be impacted, that they have ways to handle the crowds, and that protections are in place to help Chinatown, maybe something like prioritizing development on parking lots, and protections for local business's and residents?
