There is a reason why Ashland Avenue in Chicago is a six-lane (two traffic, one parking and in each direction) roadway: TRUCKS! Has it occurred to anyone how important it is for those trucks to make deliveries to the businesses and even schools along Ashland? This is what was ultimately the doom for Rahm Emanuel's reelection: He tried to turn the entire city (which was already a traffic nightmare) into a bike lane, to serve the 20% lawful/80% unlawful bicycle riders who disobey traffic lights; especially the ones installed for them and traffic laws without regard for pedestrians. Now, the CTA wants to take two (2) vital truck routes (Western Avenue is the other) and make things much worse for city traffic. NOTE TO CTA: YOU CANNOT FORCE PEOPLE TO RIDE BUSES OR RENT DIVY BIKES! THIS IS THE WORST IDEA YET TO COME FROM 567 WEST LAKE STREET, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60661! DON'T DO THIS! LEAVE ASHLAND, WESTERN AND CICERO AVENUES ALONE! JUST BECAUSE OTHER CITIES HAVE BRT SYSTEMS DOESN'T MAKE IT RIGHT FOR CHICAGO! 🐰
Why not just reactivate, expand and extend Chicago's old freight subway?! This system, if reactivated, will do a helluva lot in removing several trucks from the streets. Btw, what a good dissertation you came up with!
@@user-dj7wv5ok2xthat could end up costing over one billion dollars per mile. Bus rapid transit is always the best form of transit to put in first because it’s low cost and high capacity. If the line receives significant demand, they can always put in elevated or tunneled rail
That's the north one that closed. It's now used as an overflow for downtown Chicago, so they don't have to worry about flooding. They're still using the others, so that's where the blasts are coming from.
Great presentation, thanks for making this public. Thank you also for highlighting that lead remediation is complicated, but that not attending to it is irresponsible.
Lies & Bullshit from the CTA Chicagoans were Promised a BRT for Ashland & Western, & All CTA Riders have is a Damn Peak Hour Limited for these 2 Long Haul Bus Routes, & it Still Ain't There or Politics from the Alderman who's Wards that this Proposed BRT Would Pass Through. The Jeffery Jump Father East is Slow As Hell cause of its Narrow Streets on South Jeffery, it Needs to be Overhauled Badly! As an Ex Native Son of Chicago, Living in L.A. going on 50 Years Next Month, Out here we Have Our BRT Lines such as the Orange Line in the San Fernando Valley that Open in October 2005, & was Expanded to Chatsworth in the Northwest Corner of the Valley in 2012, & Last Year 24 Hour Service was Launched on the Line, & Starting this Late Fall, 45 BEB Articulated Busses will be Replacing the CNG Busses on the Orange Line, Into 2020. Also this Year, Metro will Celebrate 10 Years of the Silver Line from El Monte Station to Now San Pedro, Via Harbor Gateway Transit Center, & it Runs 24 Hours Between Harbor Gateway T.C. to El Monte Station. & With Both of these Lines, we Get Faster Service! What the CTA gave the Riders is Promises & Damn Lies, Hell You All were Promised the Red Line Extension to 130th St. & it hasn't been Built Yet, but at Least CTA Redid the 95th Station, in which I Visited Last Month when I Was Visiting in Chicago for a Family Reunion. CTA Can Learn a Lot from Other Transit Systems Such as L.A. Metro & Others, cause CTA Ain't Getting it Right, or its Bullshit from the Politician's.
Hahahahahahaa really??? Are you kidding????? Look at the BRT System Transmilenio of Bogotá Colombia and ur eyes will open to the reality... BRT is a infernal chaos here. :(
Only "cheaper" initially; over time, it costs MUCH MORE than LRT. This is because a bus is an automobile just as any car (or even TRUCK) is, and as a result, has a much lower longevity factor than rail vehicles.
Atlanta has 20 surrounding counties whose mainly suburban white residents fear that adding light rail will give black, Hispanic, and Asian city criminals access to the county. Now they fear even the sight of BRB buses near their eyesight. Buses remind them of poor, low-income people. The sight of a poor person raises their blood pressure. It'd be nice to see transit options in these suburban counties near Atlanta.
The Chicago Transit Authority and the city council have come to its senses and and won't be building this for the time being. So, while this may be popular among transit companies, who want every dime in your bank account and bike riders, who don't want anyone driving anything but a bicycle, CTA and the council both agree that it isn't a priority and there is currently no funding and no plans to do it for now.
I am from India recently this BRTS project implemented in my city HUBLI AND DHARWAD from Karnataka state. And around 130 Volvo bus are running daily. If you want you can Google HDBRTS very successful project .
Who in their right mind would ever consider living withing 4 miles of this gaping eyesore!? I feel for y'all. I drive over this every week and finally, I take a deep dive (no pun intended 🤣) into research and am pleasantly amazed at the vastness of this project.
Chicago may be America's Railroad Capital but it is also a logistical nightmare. every day 12 billion trains go through the Chicago yards and outdated infrastructure is forcing them to wait on sidings while METRA and Amtrak make backup moves into Union Station. this needs to be fixed because it is bringing the national track network to a crawl.
BRT system is a shit, Santiago, Lima, Cali, Bogotá and other cities have collapsed because of this system, it's obsolete, slow and cannot move all the people who say it move. It's always collapsed, full, buses stop at every light and it is lost time, the train system will always be better.
