Thanks for sharing! It's a tough fiscal situation. We did design a longer term, Growth network that expands service but there's no identified funding for it at this time.

Raisins, no. Pecans, yes! But then again I'm half-Canadian, half-Southern, so I see them as mini pecan pies.

Funny thing is that's not a quote from someone else. It's directly his writing. Couldn't find anyone to launder his opinions through on that one. I particularly love the use of "whopping". His big tell is the gratuitous adjectives.

Today's installment in this evergreen thread: "Clement began raising this issue in political races a decade ago. Changing circumstances, including a whopping 22.4% office-vacancy rate in the county, have brought many to her point of view." www.arlnow.com/2025/06/03/d...

Sure, and Metro's early planners didn't expect that to happen at that site. They were much more focused on suburban commutes to downtown than suburban redevelopment. So they went with the cheap option to achieve their primary goal at the time.

Even if you stayed west side at King St you'd have to cross the RR south of there for the Huntington branch and to reach the yard on the blue line branch.

Yes, but if you crossed over to the west side on the tracks north of Braddock you'd have to cross back over before King St station, since nearly all the significant activity there is east of the tracks.

The Braddock Rd thing is bc it was much cheaper to follow the RR ROW and not have to cross over it twice.

Very small and unusual situation, but Interurban Trolley in Elkhart, Indiana is administered by the regional MPO (MACOG).

In the DC region we could definitely do better on the overall bus system wayfinding, mapping, schedule and other customer information. It's a challenge with multiple operators (Metrobus, ART, DASH, etc).

You can submit a comment on the website. Or reach out to anyone in the MARTA service planning team.

Understood. Happy to help estimate trip times. Feel free to DM me.

Yeah this seemed very useful to the planning team, particularly given how many apartments are along Glenridge.

Understand the desire for this level of detail. At this stage of planning, full schedules haven't been written, so it's not possible to have an accurate online trip planner tool.
