However I would rather not run a rail line up the center of a freeway, parrallel with space, but not in the center.Pantograph Trolleypolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833159138533550544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609536178570975752.post-63275842065576093072010-04-12T11:06:56.257-07:002010-04-12T11:06:56.257-07:00I might be inclined instead to say that this is a ...I might be inclined instead to say that this is a great place for densification. The problem and benefit of freeway access is that it also points to places where there will be a market because of the access. Unfortunately the Dallas region is currently based on freeway access and likely anything that has transit only access is going to die on the market vine unless you push a whole lot of subsidy into it. I see your point about park and ride but I also think the places that should be park and ride are those that are less accessible by the freeway because they have less market potential.Pantograph Trolleypolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833159138533550544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609536178570975752.post-39078516430859505612010-04-12T08:46:27.383-07:002010-04-12T08:46:27.383-07:00Given the freeway access and limited potential for...Given the freeway access and limited potential for dense walkable development, maybe this would be a good site for a large park and ride facility. I think high capacity transit lines should mostly serve walkable developments, but there should also be an occasional park and ride for those who do not live within walking distance of transit.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15388615060405992105noreply@blogger.com
