You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Ed Markey Memorial Pedestrian Bridge''' is a steel [[Cable stayed bridge|cable stayed]] pedestrian bridge in [[Revere, Massachusetts]]. It was built as part of the Revere Transit Facility and Streetscape Project and opened in 2013. The bridge connects the [[Wonderland station|Wonderland]] rapid transit and bus station and parking garage with [[Revere Beach]] over Ocean Avenue.<ref>((cite web|publisher=Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority |title=Revere Transit Facility and Streetscape Project |url=http://www.mbta.com/about_the_mbta/t_projects/?id=1074 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203005257/http://www.mbta.com/about_the_mbta/t_projects/?id=1074 |archive-date=3 December 2013))</ref>

==Design==
[[File:Wonderland at sunset, February 2014.jpg|thumb|left|The elevated plaza, built as part of the bridge project, and the Wonderland parking garage]]
The Markey Bridge is a single-span [[cable stayed bridge]]. Its west end connects to an elevated plaza - constructed with the bridge - which is level with the crossover mezzanine of the station. Its east end is at a stone plaza next to Revere Beach Avenue, which runs on an elevated berm. The bridge slopes toward its east end.

The main span of the bridge is ((convert|107|ft)) and the overall length is ((convert|151|ft)). The ((convert|52|ft|adj=on)) towers and railings are outwardly inclined. The walking surface is concrete with a ((convert|12|ft)) clear width between railings.<ref name=arch /> The bridge is lit at night from the base using LEDs.

The bridge architect, [[Miguel Rosales]] of the Boston-based transportation architects Rosales + Partners, provided the conceptual/preliminary design and bridge architecture.<ref name=renowned>((cite news |newspaper=Revere Journal |title=Renowned Architect Designs a New Pedestrian Bridge for Revere Beach |first=Seth |last=Daniel |date=13 April 2011 |url=http://www.reverejournal.com/2011/04/13/renowned-architect-designs-a-new-pedestrian-bridge-for-revere-beach |access-date=29 April 2013))</ref> The final design and construction was led by the contractors [[Suffolk Construction Company]] in a team that included [[AECOM]] as engineers of record and [[Schlaich Bergermann & Partner]] as design engineers.<ref name=arch>((cite web |url=http://www.architectmagazine.com/projects/view/christina-and-john-markey-memorial-pedestrian-bridge/2740/ |title=Christina and John Markey Memorial Pedestrian Bridge |publisher=American Institute of Architects |work=Architect |date=16 July 2013 |access-date=2 December 2015))</ref> The construction and real estate development company [[Gilbane]] acted as construction manager for the project.

==History==
[[Wonderland station]] opened on January 19, 1954 as the terminus of what became the [[MBTA]] [[Blue Line (MBTA)|Blue Line]].<ref name="netransit">((cite web |url=http://www.transithistory.org/roster/MBTARouteHistory.pdf|title=Changes to Transit Service in the MBTA district 1964-2015 |last=Belcher |first=Jonathan |date=27 June 2015 |publisher=NETransit |access-date=3 December 2015))</ref> It served commuters from Revere and surrounding towns, as well as providing transit access to popular Revere Beach. In the 1970s, Revere officials began considering a pedestrian bridge to allow beachgoers to avoid crossing busy Ocean Avenue at crosswalks.<ref name=wondy />

During his term as mayor from 2000 to 2012, [[Thomas G. Ambrosino]] advocated for improvements to Wonderland station, including a parking garage and pedestrian bridge. $20 million was allocated as part of [[American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009|the 2009 stimulus bill]], and a $1 million state grant funded an elevator and massive stone stairs to the bridge from Ocean Avenue.<ref name=officially />

Construction began in 2011. In May 2012, Governor [[Deval Patrick]] signed a bill officially naming the bridge as the Christine and John Markey Memorial Pedestrian Bridge after the late parents of then-Massachusetts representative [[Ed Markey]]. Although Markey was partially responsible for securing funding for the bridge, some Revere politicians and residents were unhappy with the naming, as neither Markey nor his parents had ever been Revere residents.<ref name=question>((cite news |url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/regionals/north/2012/11/29/some-revere-residents-question-naming-million-bridge-after-markey-parents/e43iv5kYKlplUHvri8TOuN/story.html |title=Revere bridge naming raises some hackles |newspaper=Boston Globe |date=29 November 2013 |last=Rosenberg |first=Steven A. |access-date=2 December 2015))</ref>

The bridge was dedicated but not opened on November 29, 2012.<ref name=question /><ref name=officially>((cite web|work=Revere Journal|title=Bridge to Beach is Officially Open|author=Seth Daniel|date=November 30, 2012|url=http://www.reverejournal.com/2012/11/30/bridge-to-beach-is-officially-open|access-date=April 29, 2013))</ref> Primary construction was completed in February 2013, with final components like railings installed over the next several months. Delays due to [[Buy America Act|Buy American]] provisions slowed the completion of the bridge.<ref name=wondy /> The [[certificate of occupancy]] was signed on June 28, 2013, and the bridge opened to the public on July 4.<ref name=wondy>((cite news |url=http://www.reverejournal.com/2013/07/10/wondy-pedestrian-bridge-plaza-opens-quietly/ |newspaper=Revere Journal |title=Wondy Pedestrian Bridge, Plaza Opens Quietly |last=Daniel |first=Seth |date=10 July 2013 |access-date=2 December 2015))</ref><ref name=structurae /> The elevator was not complete then and opened later.<ref name=wondy /> The Bridge is referred to by local denizens as the Ed "The Mark" Markey Bridge.
