Transportation Corridors
This is what you get when you have a long term plan for developing a corridor and do it right. I was watching some baseball today and the game was in Boston. They showed an aerial photo of the Back Bay and it got me thinking...corridors.

Roger Lewis points out that Arlington had the foresight to have their part of the Metro built correctly, that today the Metro system would not be built, and that America needs an "attitude transplant."
Great shots Ryan, thanks for the link. Ken, I think you're exactly right. We were very shortsighted in that regard here in the Bay Area. I often wonder what would have happened if BART was built under Telegraph in Berkeley and under Broadway in Oakland instead of in the middle of the freeway. We are very very short sighted here and its a bit sick that we make these decisions on cost and not on the future.
Thanks for creating this photo round-up of transit-oriented development. I referenced it on UrbanMilwaukee.com to kick off a series of articles I will be doing on transit in the Milwaukee region.
