释义

  1. References

Widett Circle is a locale in Boston, Massachusetts that has long been used as a wholesale food market, but which has been proposed for several redevelopment projects. It is located between a bend in Interstate 93 and the MBTA rail yards, near the Massachusetts Avenue connector to I-93.

Widett Circle was named for Attorney Harold Widett who was the Attorney for the meat packers union.

Potential uses for the site include:

  • an additional rail layover for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA)[1]
  • a trash recycling and transfer facility[2]
  • a new 28,000 seat stadium for the New England Revolution soccer team,[3] though the team's owners are reportedly focusing on a parcel just north of the circle.[4]
  • a temporary 60,000 seat Olympic Stadium for the 2024 Summer Olympics. See Boston bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics
  • a floodable [https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/2018/01/04/the-best-use-widett-circle-don-develop-all/PKw5rstNGe4siQ2LxW18kM/story.html watershed]

The current occupants have expressed concern that eminent domain proceedings might be used to take their businesses for other uses.[5]
