Almost any place you put a stadium, the traffic will be a headache going in and out. This way they can actually build roads around the stadium with this stuff in mind.
- That whole area is trashy. Really trashy. Everything underneath the Bow is just what looks like abandoned warehouses and scrap yards. If putting these stadiums and entertainment complex in the area forces re-development of that area into new apartment buildings and the like, its a good thing.

This is something long overdue as it's arguably the biggest bottleneck in the city now so getting this addressed is a big positive.
