Posted by RonInBayside on Sat Jul 29 02:14:42 2006, in response to Re: My Route Suggestion of the Old Abandoned LIRR Rockaway Beach Branch, posted by R7 Torresdale Express on Fri Jul 28 23:27:26 2006. Germantown Av is too narrow in many places and traffic has increased to the point where the trolleys are no longer feasible. Trolleys get in the way of emergency vehicles, they block traffic, their tracks chew up tires. I've lived on the Avenue and fully agree with SEPTA's decision. Maybe electric trolley buses could work - because they're steerable to a point - and SEPTA already has plenty of experience operating them.On the other hand, Erie Av is nicely set up for a trolley, had one complete with Island platforms, and SEPTA let that go. Considering the resurgence of business there and the presence of institutions like St. Christopher's Hospital for Children, a trolley would make sense. WillD and I have argued about this back and forth. He thinks SEPTA is being ridiculous and I think SEPTA is being sensible on this issue. |
