Wow...you're right! And they're planning on building a tower!? If this is any indication of their expertise, I'm not holding out hope on how this'll turn out...then again, hopefully this is just a minor blip and not indicative of their development abilities...HOPEFULLY!

Soooo, what's your point exactly when you say that streetcars don't work 'well'? What do you mean exactly when you say they don't work 'well'? Is it due to the fact that sometimes a streetcar with 50-75 people is blocked (usually by cars)? Are you ignoring the fact the most of the time the...

Nice Well expressed sentiment, typezed...half of a bad idea is still a bad idea.

Prompted to post Unfortunately, these days I'm just too busy to respond to posts and/or get involved in many arguements anymore...that being said, however, sometimes a post comes along that's so funny that I can't help myself (actually more sad than funny)... ...and this one has so many...

Gloucester Just read through the planning documents...looks like much of the heavy lifting has already been done...interesting that only 34 parking spots and over 300 bicycle spaces ...nice change in direction...what a different city we'd be living in if this was the norm for the past 60...

Jason...where exactly did you take that first pic from...what a wonderful vantage to watch our City grow... :)

Amen Yes, my son...if you have faith...we can achieve greatness...(relates to your 'Jesus' reference in case you're thinking WTF!) ;) But seriously, yeah, I agree...unfortunately the nature of the system means that the same guy that owns one lot may not be the same that owns another and...

Owner responds A few years ago I asked the owner if he was planning on selling any time soon...he responded with surprising scorn at the suggestion with something like, "WHY would I want to do that! I own the building...it's all paid for!"...

You're absolutely right...the truth is that ford isn't really interested in transit...it's a nuisance to him...it's only value in his eyes is to make driving easier for those who aren't left wing bicycle riding pinkos... ...he won't be happy until his suburbanization goal of the whole city is...

Radio interview with Joe Mihevc Not sure if this has been posted earlier...but it's an interesting interview and shines a strong light on how much of a real idiot the fords are (not that we needed anymore proof), especially with respect to transit...

Brilliant! :)

I agree...this is the kinda thing that should produce civil disobedience at the highest levels....public opposition through protests even...

Finally...someone said this!

More bike lanes! More bike lanes everywhere! ...on many more roads...a huge integrated network spreadout outward to both the inner and outer suburbs...tied in with transit AND our park system...lets challenge Amsterdam and become the bike lane capital of the world! Let's set up a global...

Thank you.

Right...so less drivers (b/c of a policy that prioritiezes transit) = less congestion = less pollution. Disagree... ...instead slowly gradually transform the suburbs into transit friendly places and connect them to the 'regional' transit network... See the post of the article from...

I already thought I had put this issue to bed, but maybe not...so sure...I'll explain myself again, but can you tell me where I said that I don't believe in getting as much capacity out of our roads as possible? In fact I do. My approach in doing so though is to gradually shift drivers onto...

Yup, that's about it! And you're right about the initial extreme positions too...sometimes the internet/email is great, but sometimes...man, it can really perpetuate miscommunication/misunderstandings... ...I applaud us for seeking to genuinly understand each other's position rather than...

That's a great article in that it so concisely expresses what mountains of studies have been saying for decades and what many have been trying to tell suburbanites for ever and what they just don't get. Sadly, like I said in a previous post, the days of reckoning are coming whether they like...

Thanks for both articles, Thanos...funny about the first one...I 'too' posted it in one of my posts! ;) Imagine had we suggested some of 'those' measures!
