Environmental Advocates Push Back Against Encore Gondola Proposal
Some
advocacy organizations are concerned that Encore is considering
connecting the casino and the Assembly T stop by aerial tram.
EVERETT,
MA — The possibility of a gondola system connecting Encore Boston
Harbor to nearby communities is concerning some area advocacy
organizations. Wynn Resorts is looking at running a gondola from the
casino to the Assembly Orange Line stop in Somerville, while Everett
Mayor Carlo DeMaria has applied for a $200,000 grant to study a 1.5-mile
aerial tramway connecting Encore to Everett City Hall, the Boston Globe
reported last week.
The original plan was to connect Assembly and Encore by a footbridge, which is already in the permitting process. Everett officials hope to see both the bridge and aerial tram come to fruition but say Wynn would likely only bankroll one, the Globe reported.
