Such a system would enhance the ability of Everett residents to travel to and from the gaming facility for work and leisure and, combined with Encore’s intended operation of a gondola system from its facility to Assembly, would also provide a direct connection to the MBTA orange line." "This grant would be used to explore whether such an aerial tramway/gondola could be feasibly built and operated further north to Everett Square as a means of public transportation. "While Encore has advanced plans for a pedestrian bridge, they are also advancing plans for an aerial gondola to create year-round weather-protected means of connecting their Everett facility to the Assembly Row transit station," according to the City of Everett's grant application. Grant application materials submitted to the Gaming Commission indicate that the city's gondola proposal would be studied as a potential extension of a separate gondola link, reportedly being studied by the owners of the Encore, which would carry riders over the Mystic River from the casino to the Assembly Orange Line station to the casino. The City of Everett has submitted a $200,000 grant application to the Massachusetts Gaming Commission to study the feasibility of an aerial tramway or gondola as a means of public transportation between Everett Square and the city's new Encore Boston Harbor casino on the Mystic River waterfront.
