Also i read the OTA report from 1970 on the politics behind MARTA. It's rediculous that they didn't build out the system. It would have been on par with Washington Metro but i guess we won't know until they build out.Pantograph Trolleypolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833159138533550544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609536178570975752.post-54362282656691935052007-02-10T16:06:00.000-08:002007-02-10T16:06:00.000-08:00I don't think that Atlanta is in any danger yet of...I don't think that Atlanta is in any danger yet of having their lunch eaten in the mass transit arena. Like you mentioned, there are several interesting projects trying to get off the ground. But it is true that *Gwinnett County* is in more serious trouble. I imagine the impetus for that article is that it goes along nicely with the new push for reserved-guideway mass transit in Gwinett. They majorly missed the boat in 1990, and they have a lot of catching up to do. The economics and demographics of Gwinett have changed drastically since 1990, so I think the support is there for approving a good reserved-guideway solution - IF they can wrangle the money for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
