Re: Riverview Corridor (Alternatives Analysis)

I like the idea also, but I think realistically it won't be changed as it will confuse riders. I think they should consider ditching the color scheme and adopt simple numbers (1,2,3,4,etc.) for the LRT and BRT lines. I was looking at some of the materials, and it seems that they are only considerin...

Re: Riverview Corridor (Alternatives Analysis)

Enough with the Midtown Corridor. There's already a thread on it, go discuss it there. This is about Riverview. Anyways, what will Riverview be named? The glorified bus on Cedar Avenue/Highway 77 got a color, so I think Riverview deserves a color. I am under the impression from the attending one of...

The purple line!

I believe that the Rush Line corridor is going to be called the Purple Line. They requested it in their documentation.

Re: D Line - Fremont/Emerson/Chicago Rapid Bus

That is the correct choice, in my mind. It'll be frustrating to have to stop at the light at Lake immediately after boarding, but far-side boarding isn't really an option there, with the transfer point being the transit center. Is the 5 going away, or staying on like the 84/16 have? If it is going ...

Re: Riverview Corridor (Alternatives Analysis)

Build the Riverview corridor as is, with a straight shot to the airport. Build the Midtown LRT Phase 1 from West Lake (Green) to Lake St. (Blue). Build the Midtown LRT Phase 2 from 46th Street to Sibley Plaza, so that Midtown ultimately runs from Hopkins to downtown Saint Paul. Problem solved. ^^^T...

Re: Riverview Corridor (Alternatives Analysis)

Does that mean streetcar along the length of W 7th instead of using the hybrid/CP Rail option? That seems like a bad idea. I don't think they could justify the cost difference with only saving a minute between using W 7th or the CP Spur. I am just glad that it isn't serving the ford site, since tha...

Re: C Line - Arterial Rapid Bus & Penn Ave Community Works Project

Caught a glimpse of one of the new C Line articulated bus going Southbound on 35W last week near the UofM operating as a route 250! Was driving, so no picture... I work for MT, we have one articulated bus painted like an A Line(aBRT) because we were going to run it for the state fair, but due to co...

Re: C Line - Arterial Rapid Bus & Penn Ave Community Works Project

I've seen a aBRT painted bus running through downtown recently displaying "C Line Testing" on its display boards. Is that the same one you're talking about, or is that an actual new C Line bus? Yes this is the same one from the fair, they are still putting the plans together for the C Lin...
