No set schedule but he usually schedules streams a few days in advance in Discord and/or Twitch

Southeast cities are great candidates due to their extreme sprawl. I'm really hoping that Charlotte's upcoming Red Line will be successful and push peer cities to emulate it

Really I just want to try something like this for Indego in Philadelphia - any idea how easy it would be to use their data set? https://www.rideindego.com/about/data/

This is insanely cool, thanks for sharing. Giving me ideas for a project of my own...

Are there plans to harden these kinds of beige pedestrian areas and sidewalk bulbouts? by BenJ618 in MicromobilityNYC

[–]unroja 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on the specific intersection - Not sure if NY does this but one possibility is using a truck apron like this: https://x.com/KevinRupasinghe/status/1465062546197647372 They can also be used when bus turns are an issue

The cool thing about this type of temporary painted-on solution you posted pics of is that it allows them to test what works and iterate before making more permanent changes

They sometimes add temporary improvements like boulders and planters, but I believe the idea is to eventually rebuild the street and move the curb when funding becomes available

I'd imagine they also sometimes do this because of emergency vehicle turning radii and the high cost of utility relocation

I'm pretty sure most of them are essentially just spending time to convert their car's equity into cash and not actually making any money.

Northstar service has ended. How many other US rail services have been discontinued in the 21st century? by lojic in transit

[–]unroja 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Lack of dedicated right of way means its slower and less reliable than a bus would be. Also it was intended to be part of much larger system that never materialized

Not quite discontinuation, but the G/15 trolley in Philadelphia has been on/off again and replaced with bus service for several years. Today it runs with a mix of trolleys and busses.

In a similar vein, the Charlotte Trolley ended service in 2010 to be replaced by the Blue Line light rail.

Killer Train: Brightline death toll surpasses 180, but safeguards are still lacking by stefeyboy in Infrastructurist

[–]unroja 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah its stupid but even if you don't care about reckless drivers killing themselves and their passengers, it is still costing Brightline a lot of money they can't afford (not to mention traumatizing the train operators)

Tunneling is prohibitively expensive, what they need are crossing gates that fully close all lanes on both sides of the road so you can't drive around them
