It hasn't even been a few weeks and they closed that sidewalk downtown!!What is interesting, is that the tracks at the downtown station are the original streetrunning line which used to go through to the other side of downtown just a few short years ago. Somereason they paved over them and put the station right there. And expansion up the street would've been nice and have two downtown stations instead of being on the edge of town. Secondly, I agree, Kramer is confusing. There is a sign on the platform or nearby that says there IS parking! I think it consists of less than 8 spaces(4 or 6) on the street somewhere! But most or all of the stations have bus connectors for circulars. I don't know if you saw the 3 downtown, but there is one at MLK or Plaza Santillo which has the connector to University of Texas. ALthough UT is downtown IMO. Lastly, It wouldn't surprise me if that track did run an interurban once. Ever notice that most of the south of US highways running right against railroad tracks, either current or past? |
