>>995705Now I'll have to admit, the plan that got rejected in the popular vote was stupid. It would have entailed the following problems:
>new low floor rolling stock that was incompatible with the rest of the network>complicated newly built tram stops for both high and low floor access on a few miles of packed tram track>unnecessary reinforcement of line 1 >no access to the central train station>blocking the city center that was freed up with the underground tunnels just 25 years prior>etc. So in a way I'm glad that it didn't get through. The extensions are still necessary though, so here's what I think should be done.
Pic related is the official plan of new stops in the Sennestadt district. They should build these like they're proposed here, but instead of a new low-floor line 5, they should just extend high floor line 1 beyond its present terminus (see top left corner).
