Every day here someone new provokes me to repost my piece on why transit to the airport is a little bit hard. humantransit.org/2016/03/key…

Keys to Great Airport Transit — Human Transit

Do you think that specialized express trains with nice amenities are the key to high transit ridership to an airport? Not always.  Overly specialized services, designed exclusively around air...

Every major city in the U.S. should have a train that takes you from the airport directly downtown. Like why is that so hard?

This outstanding map shows the different ages of the skylines across North America. Austin vs Fort Worth is fun. What urban histories do you see reflected here? Source: buff.ly/4cQpwjK

If Charlotte's transit plans from the 1990s had gone accordingly, today the city could've had five light rails traveling from Uptown to the suburbs. axios.com/local/charlotte/20…

"So simple:" What Charlotte could've been if its '90s transit plans had stuck

Charlotte was supposed to have five transit corridors by 2025.

Sad to find out 88 China Bistro on 3rd St closed. Some of the nicest owners. Hope they enjoy the next phase after 18 years!

Today architect Rafael Viñoly passed away at the age 78. During his illustrious career Viñoly amassed a robust and diverse portfolio of buildings, including 432 Park Avenue in New York and 20 Fenchurch Street in London. ow.ly/vIB050N8C46

Alternatively: "the days of a vertical office park are gone." So let's stop treating downtown streets like extended highway onramps to flush vehicles in and out everyday, and rethink them as PLACES that can support downtown families, local businesses, arts, music, etc.

Instead of an ‘alternative’ plan that is basically the 1980s status quo, we need to be bold and NOT widen 77 now, if ever. Kicking the mobility can down the road 10 years is just what will stifle the regions growth and quality of life, not what will allow it to thrive.

After @NCHouseSpeaker dismissed Charlotte's transit plan, here is an alternative that might satisfy Charlotte + GOP legislative leaders: wfae.org/charlotte-area/2023…

How Charlotte can salvage its transit sales tax

Legislative leaders want roads. Charlotte leaders want transit. Why not use sales-tax money to pay for both?

The city’s economic development office gave us the Truist sign, and now this. And they get to hide behind non-public decision making.

We are surprised that this option (which CATS calls the Locally Preferred Alternative) now has a higher ridership projection than it did in June. We, like many others, would like to know what changed in the model.
