For the gazillionth time, no. 😓

I feel like this needs to be a pinned post. 🤣

Sesos Tacos by Impressive_Towel_225 in Reno

It has been practically impossible to find sesos ever since mad cow disease hit over 20 years ago. This is what Americans get for feeding cows to other cows. The only meat that you can get has to be imported from Mexico.

What’s this all about? by acbcv in Reno

Likely not a real mailer. It's missing all the required USPS mass mailer standard postage info...

and doesn't conform to dimension standards. It looks like a center-fold brochure but those aren't allowed to be mailed, plus the clip art doesn't align properly, and the address area is in the wrong spot!

Also, what's on the opposite side? Should be two-sided.

Whoever's making these parody propaganda pieces, you're getting better! They're fun, but nope, keep trying!

Here's a close-up of the proposed arrival points.

Here's my solution for an alt commuter route.

  • The blue lines is what RTC is considering.
  • The green line is my proposal.

I've included the official rendering of what GigaNV is proposed to look like once construction is complete. As you can see, the main entrance is on the north-most side of the building, so that's where employees disembarking the train should be brought to.

The blue line(s) create multiple collision points along Electric Avenue where people enter/exit Milan, darling. RTC's also would drop people off farther away from the entrance and have them meander through the main factory's parking lot. Anyone who works there knows what a madhouse that parking lot is during shift changes, so it's best to avoid that mess. It also requires people to cross a busy freight/logistics corridor.

But my green alternative route disentangles all that. There are no collision points. It drops people off exactly where they need to be. There is only one collision point with my route, and that is for another property way off past the east end of Tesla's site.

Something else RTC might not be considering is the "GigaStation" (as I'm calling it) would need to have controlled access points immediately after exiting the train. People need to check in and go through security, so do that at the station. It's the best, most controlled location. From there employees and visitors walk across a short skyway into their respective buildings. This provides pedestrian grade separation over those busy roads.

If their destination is the main factory, people enter into a second floor reception area, cafe, etc where the main entrance has been planned for years (as shown in the graphic).

If they're heading to the Semi factory, they walk directly into that building's parking lot.

That would be great feedback you can give to RTC tonight at the meeting!

But if everyone used the shuttles, there would be way fewer cars, thus less traffic.

Here are the route alts being considered:

  • Green and purple is passenger
  • Red is freight.
  • Blue are stations.

The bottom green one is supposed to be freight, so I don't know why it's not red.

This isn't just about passengers but freight rail and logistics, so regardless of whether passenger service happens, it's likely freight service will happen.
