Talk:Middleborough/Lakeville station

Parking lot size

Absolutely none of the available sources agree about the history of the parking lot size.

• SRPEDD and the 9/30/1997 Globe say 400 spaces. The 3/28/1999 Globe says 400 with 300 more planned.
• 11/21/1999 Globe says 432 spaces, with 340 more planned (ie 772 total). That source has some definitely incorrect numbers for other stations, so I hardly trust it.
• 11/12/2000 Globe says 215 opened on 11/6/2000. That may have been the larger of the two-part expansion.
• SRPRDD and 2001-02 MBTA website say 864 spaces. 2003-06 MBTA website says 853 spaces.
• 11/13/2003 Globe says a 100-space dirt lot was closed, but aerials show it in use until at least 2005.
• SRPEDD claims a post-Big-Dog reduction to 735 spaces.
• MBTA website has said 769 spaces since 2010.

I've updated the article as best as I can with what isn't in dispute. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 06:50, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
