Ya know...your argument is pointless to a tee. There is no way in hell that an elevated structure can be built on Richmond Terrace, no way in hell. You ride down Richmond Terrace and tell me if they can just knock down houses and shut down piers and docks so an elevated structure can be built to keep heavy rail going. It would do more damage and cost much more at the same time than good.I was hoping you would make a post like this just to show that you don't even know what you are talking about but is just staying in the debate because you "dislike" light rail. Do you have any knowledge at all of the North Shore line's or even the North Shore's history? It should only take one ride through the North Shore from St. George to Arlington....not Snug Harbor to realize that it is densely populated. Richmond Terrace rides very close to the water and docks have since been built since the line's closure. It would not be an easy task to get the row going for heavy rail but light rail opens up other oportunities not available with heavy rail. And besides you continue to avoid the fact that the line would not be used much outside of rush hours and LRT would suit that perfectly. The only reason why the LRT's ridership wouldn't be higher initially after opening is because of all the surrounding bus lines. |
