Does anyone know if Greyhound is running out of Union Depot? I saw a Greyhound bus turn into Union Depot this afternoon.

Re: Blue Line (Hiawatha LRT)

Westbound northbound trains have to clear Portland Avenue. I really wish the trains could automatically get the next cycle at Chicago rather than waiting through the Chicago and 4th Street lights.

Re: Green Line (Central Corridor LRT)

Raymond is pretty low volume. And franklin only has a left turn lane which crosses the track. Drives me nuts when it has to stop at franklin.
I have seen Franklin pop back to a permissive bar signal when approaching the crossing.

Re: Green Line (Central Corridor LRT)

I'm pretty sure a westbound train just changed the light at Raymond...the lights turned red on university, then the left turn arrows went to green for about 5 seconds, then the lights turned green on university as the train approached. Is this considered a "low traffic" intersection or is...

Re: Green Line (Central Corridor LRT)

. Maybe they could start the run with an operator at each end, and then the extra op could detrain at Cedar Riverside to get back to the shop.
Good luck on getting out with a standing load.
