So we're going to tear up a rail yard so that we can build a stadium with better highway access?

I call bullshit. We don't need this stadium, at all. We don't need to appease Bob Young (we need to make it clear that he needs to appease US). We do need more rail service - much more, both freight and passenger. And if we're going to tear up the Aberdeen Yard, I can think of a hundred better things to put in that location than a stadium.

I supported the West Harbour stadium because it wasn't a fundamentally bad spot. This is. We all know what this thing is going to look like for 300+ days per year - empty. And this is a spot where people couldn't stand the thought of a bike path that wasn't fenced in.
