As for NIMBY opposition, I like the trick Chicago used. Instead of running the L lines over streets, they ran them in alleys behind buildings in lots of places. This kept sunlight on the streets.Yes, that's the best way to do it, without "ruining" a street. In New York they didn't make much use of building els that way unfortunately. The only el that was built like that for any reasonable distance was the M line el between Seneca Ave station and Metropolitan, although of course that was built over an old surface ROW. I think the Culver was built that was for about two stations to (the part that was abandoned). |
