Hopefully it will be fixed soon.Pantograph Trolleypolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833159138533550544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609536178570975752.post-26805555387080887882007-08-30T18:10:00.000-07:002007-08-30T18:10:00.000-07:00Great mention of my hometown (Columbus) and our tr...Great mention of my hometown (Columbus) and our transit struggles. From where I stand, the largest problem with the FTA justification process is the use of congestion as the key determinant. <BR/><BR/>We have fairly easy to navigate highways due to our state transit agency's affection for widening highways (our average commute time is somewhere in the 20-25 minute range), and as a result, we can't get a dime. <BR/><BR/>The FTA completely ignores the transformative nature of fixed-transit in growing cities. They'd rather wait until things get congested and then shoehorn an expensive and less functional transit system 10 years from now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609536178570975752.post-43598078095462243972007-08-28T16:28:00.000-07:002007-08-28T16:28:00.000-07:00Thanks Brandon!Thanks Brandon!Pantograph Trolleypolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833159138533550544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609536178570975752.post-1179339998886226392007-08-28T10:36:00.000-07:002007-08-28T10:36:00.000-07:00Link got cut off.http://tinyurl.com/3ckfl7Link got cut off.<BR/>http://tinyurl.com/3ckfl7Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056256431726590459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609536178570975752.post-75414782969693109872007-08-28T10:31:00.000-07:002007-08-28T10:31:00.000-07:00sorry for posting an unrelated comment, but I want...sorry for posting an unrelated comment, but I wanted to update you on streetcars in Denver.<BR/>http://www.denverinfill.com/blog/2007/08/streetcars-along-16th-street-mall.htmlBrandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056256431726590459noreply@blogger.com
