And traffic on Route 9 would be even more of a disaster every day.
The company also plans to pay for all costs associated with designing, permitting and building, operating and maintaining a commuter rail station on the Framingham-Worcester Line tracks that abut the 14-acre site’s northern edge, sandwiched by the Massachusetts Turnpike.
The new station, a separate project agreed to by the state transportation department, is expected to cost $16 million. No construction timetable has been announced.

I live in Brighton and commute past the site multiple times a week (on the 64), so I'll provide updates when they start building!
