Posted by RIPTA42HopeTunnel on Mon Mar 8 11:48:18 2010, in response to Re: Manhattan's 34th Street BRT way, updated plans... traffic, ugh, posted by Hank Eisenstein on Mon Mar 8 10:43:11 2010. Streetcars require much more of an infrastructure investment, and the streetcars would be tied ONLY to 34th street (at this point). If they were looking to do this simultaneously on 14th, 23rd, and 42nd, streetcars might make sense; but the bus option is quickest, easiest, and cheapest.It looks carefully planned as an inital phase of a future streetcar line. My opinion has always been that 34th Street was better suited for crosstown light rail than 42nd Street, so I hope this busway comes to pass. |
