You might want to route that line on main street all the way and the new Main Street bridge instead.<br /> Unless you are planning for that line to be a Subway beneath the river:)<br /> <a href="http://www.columbusunderground.com/town-street-bridge-to-begin-demolition-today">http://www.columbusunderground.com/town-street-bridge-to-begin-demolition-today</a> </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/yet-another-fantasy-transit-map#post-247350 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 23:54:40 +0000 rus 247350@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <blockquote><p><cite>johnwirtz wrote <a href="http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/yet-another-fantasy-transit-map#post-247294"> &gt;&gt; </a></cite><br /> Love it.

There would, of course, be a lot more development on High, but we would also see it on streets like Parsons and W Broad. You would think the major decline of virtually every urban neighborhood in Columbus immediately after the streetcar removal/highway construction should be obvious enough, especially since that happened in cities nationwide. Most people don't put 2+2 together for some reason and don't see that putting back a similar system in place would breathe life back into all of our major urban streets. </p> <p>Until there's better understanding of the implications of what a system like this would do, maps like these will just be pipedreams and we've just got to be more creative and persistent when it comes to prioritizing alternatives to cars and attracting businesses in our urban business districts. It also doesn't help that we let ODOT run ripshod over us. </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/yet-another-fantasy-transit-map#post-247298 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 16:35:08 +0000 Analogue Kid 247298@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <p>Fantastic!

It was mostly for an excuse to make a map, but I think the system I came up with is interesting. It runs on streets for local service at the ends of the line, then runs on freight tracks for express service to downtown.</p> <p>It's up at <a href="http://tyznik.com/transportation/tramtrain">my website</a>. </p>
