What is the Chicago Streetcar Renaissance. Saturday, December 8, 2012. The Joy and Heartbreak of Flexibility. The streetcar is not just about taking people where they want to go, it’s about building strong, enduring neighborhoods. Jerry Pritikin aka The Bleacher Preacher. January 15, 2014 at 3:09 PM. The 11 bus also ran down LaSalle and on Saturday.Since being eliminated,quite a few hi-rises have been built on or near LaSalle and needed more now thern ever before.

Chicago Streetcar Renaissance: June 2012

http://chicagostreetcar.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

What is the Chicago Streetcar Renaissance. Friday, June 15, 2012. The choice is about more than just the transit system. Bus Rapid Transit in Bogotá, Colombia and modern streetcar in Strasbourg, France. But the choice is not just between two different transit systems. There's a big difference between a line of diesel buses and a long electric streetcar. H but don’t foul the air as badly as the old-fashioned diesel buses we’ve got today. I hope this really works and a lot of people switch from driving and...

Chicago Streetcar Renaissance: May 2012

http://chicagostreetcar.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

What is the Chicago Streetcar Renaissance. Thursday, May 31, 2012. This is not the suburbs. Clark Street. From Daley Plaza at the heart of the Chicago Loop, it heads north along the Gold Coast and ambles through Lincoln Park and Lakeview on the way to Wrigley Field. This is not the suburbs. The Clark Street corridor is a walkable urban neighborhood that we’ve been treating like sprawling suburbia—like a place to drive through rather than a place to live. Wednesday, May 9, 2012. The city's population bega...

What is the Chicago Streetcar Renaissance. Monday, July 9, 2012. Streetcars make safer streets. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Check out our website. Street of the day. Streetcars make safer streets. I love my neighborhood. But this blog is not about problems, it’s about solutions. Many cities around the world have revived their local economies by investing in walkable urbanism: one pedestrian-priority transit-optimized shopping street at the heart of each neighborhood. We could do that. And lived i...

Chicago Streetcar Renaissance: BRT or streetcar? The choice is about more than just the transit system

Chicago Streetcar Renaissance: Transit shmansit: what's the difference?

http://chicagostreetcar.blogspot.com/2012/06/transit-shmansit-whats-difference.html

What is the Chicago Streetcar Renaissance. Friday, June 8, 2012. Transit shmansit: what's the difference? June 23, 2012 at 6:41 PM. December 2, 2012 at 11:52 PM. I actually thing there is nothing wrong with the bus. I think this is counterproductive in fact. Can we not have both? They serve separate, unique needs and serve them better that the other could. Why add a layer of classicism to how we get around? December 3, 2012 at 8:40 AM. I think youre right- it is. But heres the thing: the status of the bu...

Chicago Streetcar Renaissance: April 2012

http://chicagostreetcar.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

What is the Chicago Streetcar Renaissance. Friday, April 20, 2012. Is Chicago dense enough for streetcars? What if, in fact, every street in Chicago was originally designed for streetcars and pedestrians. What if it turned out that we had more population, more density and more traffic congestion- more reason to invest in walkable, transit-optimized streets- than they do? With modern streetcars that also connect. Commuter suburbs to the core. These light-rail vehicles rocket through the countryside li...

What is the Chicago Streetcar Renaissance. Friday, March 30, 2012. Shopping is for pedestrians. All over the world, and all over the United States, shopping is for pedestrians. Shopping is for pedestrians. Old Orchard Mall, Skokie, 1957. Pedestrian-priority transit-optimized shopping street. Friday, March 23, 2012. Street of the day. Shopping street in Strasbourg.

Chicago Streetcar Renaissance: Why would we invest in streetcars during a recession?

http://chicagostreetcar.blogspot.com/2011/12/why-would-we-invest-in-streetcars.html

What is the Chicago Streetcar Renaissance. Monday, January 7, 2013. Why would we invest in streetcars during a recession? In a recession, we can stimulate the economy by investing in putting people to work building a more cost-effective transportation infrastructure that will save us money for generations to come. When the economy comes back, there’s going to be a lot of building. Now is the time to prepare the ground to channel that construction. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Check out our website.
