East Busway Blog: Transportation Ignorance
http://buswayblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/transportation-ignorance.html
Tuesday, January 11, 2011. I like to make fun of the Trib, but I have to hand it to them, they've been all over the transportation/infrastructure stuff! Check out this article from yesterday's Trib. This article seems to provide a really good barometer of Pennsylvania's public opinion concerning our transportation and infrastructure situation. The biggest question I have is: why don't people care? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A PITTSBURGH TRANSIT BLOG. View Proposed BRT System. In a larger map.

East Busway Blog: July 2009
http://buswayblog.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 27, 2009. Sorry, but I can't come to the blog right now. But if you leave a message after the beep, I'll return your call as soon as possible. Be back around the 15th. Thursday, July 23, 2009. Reconciling Sprwal and Transit Part 2. To answer my first two questions from the previous post, I hope so, and yes. Now that I've answered the easy questions, the hard question is how exactly do we integrate these sprawling industrial sites with transit? It's certainly going to cost money, and you will...

East Busway Blog: Lawrenceville Greenway Circulator
http://buswayblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/lawrenceville-greenway-circulator.html
Wednesday, February 16, 2011. To the Mayor, and URA for this plan. It’s a great start to making the city more dense with development once again (and green development at that). This new green development conjures images of. And other urban oases. As with any re-development plan (unless you’re a sprawling city) the key is to integrate transit options other than automobile based to increase mobility into and out of your new development.*. This newest plan for. AVR’s branch to. An at grade line on. I also r...

East Busway Blog: “T” Gate
http://buswayblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/t-gate.html
Wednesday, January 19, 2011. 8220;T” Gate. Disclaimer* I usually try and be pretty fair, using facts to support my arguments. This is strictly my opinion. If at any point you become offended, stop reading and close your browser window. I’ll be back to the regular old stuff soon enough. Enough of this crap. It’s getting really ridiculous to see ATU 85 once again shoot the Port Authority, and in turn, themselves in the foot to prove a point. What that point is, I’m not exactly sure. A third party that can ...

East Busway Blog: Should we add railroads to the list of Passenger Rail enemies?
http://buswayblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/should-we-add-railroads-to-list-of.html
Monday, January 10, 2011. Should we add railroads to the list of Passenger Rail enemies? A lot of HSR stuff in the news. It’s no secret that Obama’s vision for a national High Speed Rail network is under attack. Many newly elected officials are far from passenger rail fans. Everyone’s heard about what’s happened in New Jersey. Meanwhile, what should have been a milestone event in Illinois turns out to have simply added more fuel to the anti-rail fire. In exchange for their cooperation with the project.

East Busway Blog: August 2010
http://buswayblog.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 20, 2010. The Public Hearing: The Day After. I won’t rehash the many arguments made at the hearing yesterday. They all have their merits, and each covered a small piece of why public transportation is a PUBLIC SERVICE and is absolutely indispensable if we want our city to remain a great place to live and work. However, I cannot emphasize this point enough: Public Comment is NOT over. Let’s hope the. From yesterday’s public hearing is not even the tip of the iceberg. If you are tired of yah...

East Busway Blog: June 2010
http://buswayblog.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 3, 2010. Back from the Dead. Ok, I wasn’t really dead, just consumed with life outside of blogging. A lot has happened in a short amount of time with the planned commuter rail plan for Arnold/Greensburg. The story first appeared here. Style (light) of operation vs. a WES. I’m not sure what to think of this. If you read the AVR proposal. They have their own ideas on implementation, and basically don’t care what Allegheny or Westmoreland County think. I can see two perspectives on this:.
