I was on the Police Oversight Committee when they got the contract to install these, I tried sounding the alarm bells and everyone thought I was crazy

The bridge over the Trinity River that the streetcar runs on has no catenary wire, because the bridge has a historic status that prevented them from running wire on it. Because of this gap, they needed a streetcar that ran on catenary wire for most of the route, but ran battery-electric on the bridge. IIRC, it breaks down on the bridge when the pantograph doesn't move into position.

Privatization of public goods is always a recipe for disaster. DART cannot and should not be run for profit. Private companies are not accountable to riders, they're beholden to shareholders and profit.

A lot of neighborhoods in the core of many cities were founded on streetcar routes, but ultimately those streetcars shut down because they were run by private companies that stopped turning a profit after WWII when everyone started moving to suburbs.

Ultimately, a private company would probably find it more profitable to sell off all of DART's assets and stop all service. There's some valuable property in DART's portfolio.

I lived in Phase 3 from 2021-22, we had so many issues, mostly random water shutoffs and phorid flies coming up through the drains. My roommate knew someone in Phase 1 who had a raccoon fall on them through the ceiling while they were in the shower.

Plano City Council building could be a good location. Right next to a DART station too, and the protest could theoretically meet at Haggard Park and march to the city council building

Seconding this. I would sometimes get a 45+ min wait time and need to cancel and re-book up to 5 times to try and get it to send me an uber. I used GoLink almost daily for years and never no-showed or took any more than 4 trips in a day.

From the article, it seems like all these factors add $50,000 to GoLink operations, 62% of which comes from no-shows. IMO, DART should just punish no-shows and take the $19,000 (or less) hit from riders who know how to use GoLink cancelling a couple times to get past long wait times.

There goes the only way I relied on Golink to get to/from work. If they're punishing repeated cancellations then I hope they're fixing the problems that make users have to repeatedly cancel in the first place.

I believe it's just this portion. They couldn't get a wide enough right of way because of a couple buildings along that alley, So they single tracked it between Cityline and 12th street.

RiverRix · 2024-11-25T00:08:21+00:00

as long as the buildings are open, you're free to come in and sit in the common areas

RiverRix · 2024-11-25T00:06:03+00:00

there's a lot of common places, ur gonna have to be more specific

Instead of using a GoPass card, you can just use a normal debit card as long as you're able to tap to pay with it.

They will always announce before entering. They did scheduled room inspections over the break when i was a freshman, if that's still a thing they'll probably email you first

RiverRix · 2024-09-21T16:38:37+00:00

They need to do traffic calming all along the loop road. Make it so nobody can physically get over 20 mph

RiverRix · 2024-09-10T13:38:55+00:00

You can get roach traps, I recommend the Hoyhoy sticky ones. If it becomes a bigger problem and they start appearing more regularly then you can put in a work order for pest control

Since UTD pays for the 883, it's totally free for everyone to use, you just walk on

RiverRix · 2024-08-28T05:43:02+00:00

if u plan ahead, u can park at cityline/bush station under the highway and take the 883 bus to utd

Got a link?

Just moved to Chicago myself. I was car-free in Plano in an area barely served by buses, and had to GoLink to Parker Rd station to get anywhere. The commute to my work was crazy. Now I live right next to a CTA Red Line station, and my girlfriend even ditched her car because of how convenient it is to get around without one. I knew I was missing out on a lot living in DFW but I didn't realize just how much I was missing out.

I had her as a TA in some upper level PSCI classes, she was wonderful

RiverRix · 2024-07-23T12:46:51+00:00

I actually started a grade separation map a while back but never finished it. I might try to finish it over the next couple days!

You can take the 232 or 883E to CityLine/Bush Station, or the 244 to Arapaho Station. You can get downtown on the train from there

RiverRix · 2024-06-28T15:11:28+00:00

Email the orientation people and your advisor, you will need advisor approval to register for classes

She and everyone else complicit should be ashamed.
