>>1025803>AFAIK the extension to Sennestadt is still on the table, although I haven't heard anything about it in a long time.True. They decided the useless extension to Milse, which they dubbed Altenhagen to make it seem like they actually accomplished something.
>Unfortunately extending route 4 to Heepen would have required a very expensive tunnel at JahnplatzHow so? Line 4 runs through Jahnplatz already and ends at Rathaus. The plan was to move the terminus from there anyway, because the train takes up the turnout track just south of Rathaus.
My idea was to extend the tracks from there as in pic related. The overall distance is a bit longer than in the line 5 proposal, but it also eliminates the need to change trains at Jahnplatz in order to get to the central station or the university.
>Someone made a counter-proposal, in which route 1 was to be moved two blocks to the south through Sennestadtring while extending it to Sennestadt. You mean Stadtring in Brackwede, right? I would go one step further and have the line run through Gütersloher Straße and Gotenstraße before continuing on Stadtring, so that the stop Brackwede Bahnhof would actually be in the vicinity of Brackwede Bahnhof. But I can see where the criticism is coming from and I guess the status quo will remain for quite a while.
Maybe we can build small ramps to accomodate wheelchair passengers or something.
