Posted by Pink Jazz on Wed Sep 3 14:55:31 2014, in response to My dream light rail/streecar system for the Phoenix Metro Area, posted by Pink Jazz on Tue Sep 2 00:21:38 2014. Also, for those who were wondering about the choice of my colors, most of them are rather random, however, with the Brown Line I tried to avoid majority Hispanic areas (the Asian-American residents of Atlanta had an issue with MARTA's Yellow Line which is why it was renamed the Gold Line).While the Phoenix area doesn't really have any true gay neighborhoods, I routed the Pink Line through areas with likely low gay populations (East Mesa, Gilbert, and most of Chandler). Routing the Pink Line through areas with high gay populations would promote the stereotype that all gay men like the color pink, which is false and totally insulting to both gay and straight men. Also, I named the original route (plus extensions) the Red Line since many transit agencies often tend to name their first color-coded route as such, followed by the Blue Line as their second route (which would be the proposed I-10 West route). The Tempe Streetcar I named the Green Line, because it seems that Tempe is a greener city than most others (even most of the Tempe-owned Valley Metro buses are painted green on the front and on the CNG tanks). Also, I did not use Yellow at all; I used the Gold Line like MARTA in Atlanta. The Silver Line, Orange Line, and Purple Line are completely random. |
