Thank you... what the hell is this talk about "conversion to LRT" not being possible.
Its %*&$ing pavement in an ROW... of course it can be converted to LRT.
What, is there hot lava under the asphalt that makes it impossible?
LOL... that explains the heated platforms!
There is SOME truth in the statement. The BRT route had to be adjusted to cut costs. To do this, the route was slightly shifted in a few areas to avoid having to relocate utilities. There are 2 areas that will need some work in the future if it is to be converted to LRT, as the grading is too steep. Other than that, there is absolutely nothing preventing this from being converted in the future.
The idea that it can't be converted is laughable. Im sure hydro didn't build the ROW to accommodate a BRT, yet here we are today.
