I drive by this house every day. It used to look like this. (Don’t look at the accident across the street). Nice to see how it looks inside. Pretty good flip!

I waited for a Muni bus out on 9th and Irving one time. Google Maps said the bus would come every 10 minutes. I waited 5, 10, 15, 30, finally at 45 minutes it came. And it was crowded. I should have just used Lyft instead. Luckily I was able to squeeze but I felt bad for the people waiting further down the route.

Amazing, and incredible. Love this building to no end.

This is so ridiculous. Why are you hating just to hate? Line names don’t ask to be fun, interesting, cool, or anything else besides just a name that can be used on maps, schedules, and alerts. In light of that, wouldn’t it make sense to give them the simplest names possible like letters? I don’t even understand what your problem is

This is a GREAT article about a subject I’ve often wondered about also, having tried every possible way to avoid the LGA traffic monster. But the solution is already out there, just an hour’s flight from EWR. To paraphrase your article, I have a two word answer: Toronto Island

This is very likely the only operating commercial airport in North America where a huge number of passengers simply walk to the terminal. Sure, some arrive by taxi or streetcar (!) and many take a free shuttle from the city’s main train station, but many who live or work nearby simply walk. I remember one summer being early downtown, so we had lunch had a lakeside cafe and then just strolled along the waterfront, bags in tow, for 15 min to the front door. It’s simply an incredible experience and one I wish all cities could enjoy. Hop on a Porter flight and check it out.

Agreed. Believe this might be phase 1 but i question phase 1 fitting into this space.

Here’s the PDF from the last time this got attention (I believe) Around page 18 shows some maps

I would assume it is here: https://www.google.com/maps/@33.9209584,-84.3475981,485m/data=1e3?hl=en

Right now there’s an undeveloped parcel right next to the MARTA station. For how large the development it, it might extend further north where AJC + other office buildings are. Those parcels are owned by the same company.

No one even gonna mention the palatial estate he’s in the process of carving out of Sweetwater Creek State Park for his next mansion?

When CitiBike first introduced electric bicycles, there was a great deal of fanfare. But the reality is that they were like unicorns (or Sasquatch, pick your metaphor), mythical creatures that were rarely seen. A few months later, with more electric bicycles introduced, they have become more like the red-breasted sapsucker – sightings about, but they are still rare. If you look at the map, you see a few dozen at best. I have yet to see two available electric bicycles at a single station.

So where are all these electric bicycles that CitiBike has added? For the most part, you can find them at docks, with a red light, because their batteries are depleted. It’s not uncommon to find a few of them at the same station, unusable.

Of course, CitiBike is right to red-light them when their batteries get below a set point. It wouldn’t be acceptable for them to run out of power in the middle of somebody’s ride, especially if that person isn’t up to pedaling a non-electric bicycle on their chosen trip (say over a bridge).

The problem is that these red-lighted electric bicycles often sit there for days at a time, waiting for waiting for CitiBike to replace their batteries. I know that CitiBike is trying to get their battery-replacement teams together, and they’re certainly doing better than previously. However, if electric bicycles are going to make a significant impact during the L train shutdown, CitiBike is going to have to up their game.

The trick is to use the army of Bike Angels to make this happen. That’s what has largely solved the relocation problems that were occurring earlier.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and I’ve come up with a few ideas. The key, in my opinion, is to designate a number of stations as electric destination docks. These docks should be easily accessible to CitiBike staff, as opposed to hard to get to. Let’s say that CitiBike designates 30 of these, distributed roughly evenly around the CitiBike service area. The idea is that Bike Angels would get points for bringing low power electric bicycles to these docks, and that CitiBike staff would be able to replace batteries for most electric bicycles at 30 docks, not hundreds.

Scheme 1: when an electric bicycle is within 10% of getting red-lighted (and was not at a designated electric destination dock), it would show up on Bike Angels’ maps as eligible to be relocated. If the Bike Angel were to bring it to an electric destination dock, they would get points, and the bicycle would be red-lighted prematurely (but it would presumably get a new battery soon, so that’s not a big deal).

Scheme 2: when an electric bicycle is red-lighted at a dock that was not a designated electric bicycle destination dock for a depleted battery percentage, Bike Angels (and only Bike Angels) would see the bicycle on their screens and be able to check out that bicycle. If they bring it to a designated electric destination dock, they would get points, and the bicycle would be red-lighted until it was serviced.

Understand that all numbers used in these examples (30 stations, 10%, etc.) are just numbers I came up with, they can of course be tweaked as necessary. And of course, I’m sure the ideas themselves need tweaking to be more effective. But I think I’ve come up with something that may be useful here.

Why am I presenting these ideas? I’m a founding member, and I want CitiBike to succeed and expand throughout New York City. For this to happen, CitiBike needs to show that it is an integral part of the transportation system. I want to help make that happen.

This article is so misleading it almost qualifies as fake news. Go take a look at Bloomington, CA on google maps. Interstate 10 runs right through the middle of it and all of the warehouses are located along the freeway or within one major block of the freeway where there are no homes (nor should there be as there shouldn’t be homes or schools within 1000 feet of the freeway). There is also an existing large shipping rail yard already there. These people who bought here already knew what they were getting into and this is a good use of land adjacent to the freeway.
