Tepper said the expansion "proposes to significantly increase new traffic to the area and nearly double the number of parking spaces (all free) from the original plan," and "potentially sets a precedent for future development in the surrounding area, which the City of Everett is proposing to develop as a 'destination area.'" According to the gaming commission, Encore already has 2, 914 parking spaces on-site, plus an additional 800 off-site parking spaces. The first phase of Video Encore's expansion plan includes the construction of a seven-story parking garage with 2, 137 spaces, of which 450 spaces would replace parking already on-site, and 1, 687 spaces would be newly constructed. Future phases of the casino company's plan would include the construction of two more parking garages, according to Tepper's decision. The report also notes that of the 2, 137 parking spaces to be built in the first parking garage, only 1, 445 are actually needed for Encore's first phase expansion, and that the first parking garage is "proposed to partially meet parking needs during future construction phases." I recognize that gaming facilities are unique,

Somerville specifically requested 1, 928 parking spaces, and said Encore's plan "uses illegal methods to calculate proposed parking supply, fabricating inflationary factors such as functional capacity factors and parking inefficiencies to justify the addition of 517 parking spaces." According to a chart included in Tepper's letter, in 2021, approximately 92 percent of Encore's patrons arrived at the casino site by private car (57 percent) or taxi/ride service (35 percent). The new plan seeks to reduce this percentage to approximately 77 percent (45 percent private car and 32 percent taxi/ride service). Mark Draisen, executive director of the Metropolitan Area Council, wrote, "We are moving forward with the assumption that the vast majority of these trips will be made by car." They added: "In its current form, this critically important project will likely have very harmful impacts on our climate and environment and will adversely affect emissions reduction goals, primarily due to the number of (mostly free) parking spaces proposed." In its comments to Tepper, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation praised Encore for reducing the number of parking spaces it seeks by 452 spaces from the previous version of the plan, saying it "will continue to encourage the proponent to reduce parking spaces."

"I've seen it for the past two years since COVID-both locally and in Japan-these good plans to put people on public transportation are often considered. But once When the plan is completed, people do not necessarily get the results they want, because people do not trust public transportation, "Hill says. "Even though people are trying to push people to public transportation, but when they looked at people who did not use public transportation, the red light turned on the plan that thought it might work. And the traffic congestion is terrible around the casino. "
