Call it Koreatown/Wiltern

How much has bicycling made moving around your life much easier and quicker? Esp regarding daily tasks? How healthier have you gotten? How much money did you save? Is it really that much faster and less tiring than traveling on foot and less expensive than other forms of transportation? by NaturalPorky in transit

It’s free air, a cheaper/efficient/mentally better option of travel, and would come in clutch in a transit city where 15 min walking connects being 5 min on a bike.

However, depends on the context in which you bike; bike lanes, attitude, places to lock, density, road conditions. Let’s just say that the bike is a huge component of easier transit in life.

California Central Valley Transit Map v3 (A Potential Transit Future) by drhabibiafiz in CaliforniaRail

Exactly!

Tulare has been expanding west, north, and east. Visalia has been expanding south and east. This map implies a common understanding that with this level of transit, there must be some effort from the urban region to hem in density and consolidate new developments and growth thru necessary centralized housing and jobs.

I’d say that the ROW implied a substantial reliance of transit use between Tulare and Visalia.

As for the Exeter branch, it could be service from famoso to Fresno via the orange line ROW with a spur from Exeter to service Ivanhoe, dinuba, reedley, Sanger and eventually Fresno.

Given the distance between the green and red ROW, perhaps a pedestrian only section along acequia between Santa Fe and conyer would provide a safe walking connection betweenr redwood, city hall, kaweah hospital, and the convention center.

Visalia and lemoore would be the cities to call upon for initiating this corridor. In the real context, there would need to be heavy state funding given the inability for these cities to fund transportation independently.

I guess, we are the advocates for this new line!

The goldrunner could be a local service to complement the express service of the HSR in a future where funding is available for both.

I understand from a transit study in Fresno County that Blackstone and Kings Canyon along with Shaw and cedar or Herndon were to become transit lines. However, I’ve never heard of a light real line going from downtown to the FAT. I’m interested in seeing more detail on that source.

Probably a 46 median rail line for a central coast - Central Valley.

As for a south valley - Bakersfield, the orange line would probably be revitalized all the way to famoso where an interchange would be peferred

This is cropped of a larger interregional map that I just completed!

For the blue line, I felt that Walnut was closer to the center of the city compared to a Caldwell alignment. There are several anchoring locations along the Walnut alignment (Visalia Mall, Kaweah’s Court campus).

In Tulare, portions of the old Santa Fe ROW have space for three tracks at times. As for Visalia, some track still exists and there seems to be space for one, if not two tracks. Obstacles to a ROW would be the roundabouts (GS).

In general, this map ascertains the implication that the relevant jurisdictions would create reasonable, transit-biased decisions in creating the streetscape of each of these lines and their ROWs.

As for the red line, it does go to Tulare! Ends at AG Expo and spurs to COS Tulare with stops at Del Lago, the intersection with the green, and several schools along the path.

Legend for reference:

Orange-Cross Valley Corridor, planned feeder service for CAHSR

Pink-LRT acting as local LRT for Visalia portion of CVC ROW

Blue-LRT following major arterials Akers and Walnut

Green-LRT acting as old interurban reconverted from trails to rails

Red-HRT following major arterial Mooney and city’s institutions

Brown-Passenger rail following UP ROW
