Posted by Kew Gardens Teleport on Mon Mar 31 12:04:28 2008, in response to Re: Queens Light Rail Map (with Subway Improvements), posted by The Port of Authority on Sun Mar 30 00:43:00 2008. My point is that taking a major street in the middle of a CBD that's trying to improve and isolating that street from the grid (by means of eliminating cars and/or routing all the transit through it) doesn't really help a district improve.I generally agree. Permeability rules, and it is a fundamental social responsibility to preserve it (aka notice to dumb municipalities: don't let developers encase your downtowns with multi-block malls and stadia). In some extreme cases, however, the street may be so narrow and busy that there is no capacity left after pedestrians and transit. I don't understand why transit supposedly can't coexist with automobile traffic in the middle of major cities. Once there's a traffic jam in front of your bus or trolley, it kinda sucks. There is of course a balance to be had. |
