The MTA is still chasing population instead of planning for the population to come to the transit line.Toure Zeiglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02368768455730454771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26974845.post-49153994466913679432008-01-03T14:32:00.000-05:002008-01-03T14:32:00.000-05:00wrote that before i fully explored. wow againwrote that before i fully explored. wow againAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26974845.post-70759222810014279212008-01-03T13:53:00.000-05:002008-01-03T13:53:00.000-05:00wow, its like a breath of fresh air.

Get your word out more, im gonna print out your proposal to have close at hand whenever i hear BRT and sloping together another failure of a transit line. LETS DO IT RIGHT! Can you do some work on streetcars and both the charles street and fellspoint proposal. I really think they need some good press.

Too many other people would just yell and scream at MTA without proposing realistic Red Line solutions that fit into the framework of the regional rail plan. <BR/><BR/>You are right on target with the TOD opportunities along the MTA's proposed alignment from Canton Crossing to Bayview. Brewer's Hill, the MTA Eastern Bus Division, etc. are terrific TOD opportunities -- and communities and developers are already thinking that way. The Greektown CDC, for example, has long advocated moving the Eastern Bus Division and using the site as TOD for the Red Line. <BR/><BR/>I do disagree with you on one point. The "waterfront alignment" as you call it will provide a tremendously needed capacity improvement for Southeast Baltimore between Harbor East and Canton Crossing; and, if that makes life a little more difficult for motorists because the line is street-running, so be it. We should be in the mode of serving people, not their cars. Hopefully, there will be a way to tunnel under Fells Point to Boston Street, as MTA has proposed.<BR/><BR/>Of course, its hard to tell which option that a few residents of Fells Point (generally unrepresentative of the broader populace) will like less: street-running or tunneling under. I suppose that they'd just as soon not have a Red Line, which is disappointing and myopic thinking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26974845.post-17151277121724458822007-11-10T18:53:00.000-05:002007-11-10T18:53:00.000-05:00Finally someome else hwo thinks Orangeville has gr...Finally someome else hwo thinks Orangeville has great development potential. As for the Billion Dollar "Express Bus Toll Lanes" I say build the extend the Green Line northeast in similarly to the 2002 Regional Rail Plan instead. This will encourage more growth in the city itself rather than more sububrban sprawl. Even this small little Red Line addition is pathetic seeing as this is all the transit that will be built between now and 2035.Spence Leanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961564411302768615noreply@blogger.com
