>>1011873That plan would be good as a quick route from Downtown to Downtown but I don't think that is what the goal of the Green Line was or should have been. People have it confused with replacing the 94 bus route but I think the Green Line better serves as a connector for residents clustered around University Avenue. A balance between speed between downtowns and serving the local populace needed to be struck otherwise you'd have a situation similar to Rondo where the transportation only nominally serves the populace and is mostly used by others.
I don't that route has the density needed for that sort of investment and the industrial area is better suited to be just that. It isn't like the Midtown Greenway where the industry had become more of a nuisance and isolated but rather the areas have great connections to interstates and railroads without being too much of a pest to neighbors.
I wish we could have had more grade separation and fewer stoplights. I feel like I always get stuck at Cretin/Vandalia and around 280
I hear those railroad tracks when I sit outside my apartment and my furniture frequently shakes from the trains....
