jamisonwieser: I caught the F-line Boat Tram on Market Street heading “Nowhere in Particular” the conductor confirmed with a hint for the confused to, “Jump onboard for downtown and the wharves”. For all the non-sensical Muni signage, this is the one everyone loves. It means its going to wander up and down the waterfront.
streetcar running right through the student plaza @PSU! and stops under the college of urban & public affairs building!! man, it’s gonna be so cool to go to university on an urban campus—just a few blocks from downtown—gotta cancel out some of the misery that was isolated UCSD campus.

In this Nov. 20, 2012 photo, Alex Rodriguez’ public art project titled “Whirling Wheels,” is seen against the midtown skyline along the Atlanta BeltLine in Atlanta. Since an Atlanta nonprofit opened a 2.25-mile-long paved trail east of downtown last month, it has attracted a steady stream of joggers, dog-walkers and cyclists to take in spectacular views of the skyline as well as a slice of established neighborhoods that were once only seen by riding a freight train. The Eastside Trail is the latest and most visible phase of the Atlanta BeltLine, an ambitious $2.8 billion plan to transform a 22-mile railroad corridor that encircles Atlanta into a network of parks, trails, public art, affordable homes and ultimately streetcars.

Study for Powell and Market Streets, Robert Minervini up for auction at sfbike’s winterfest this evening!
The demise of the Key System in the ’40s and ’50s was two-fold. The popularity of owning a car skyrocketed, but most importantly General Motors began purchasing electric train systems across America and shutting them down. This happened in over 50 cities and ultimately the Supreme Court found General Motors guilty of conspiracy. Sadly for the Bay Area, the damage was already done. The Key System within the East Bay was dismantled and replaced with AC Transit buses in 1948, and train service across the Bay Bridge ended in 1958.   7x7sf, 20.11.12.
transitmaps: Reporting live from the streets of Portland, Oregon, where I’ve just noticed a new map on the ticket machine at my downtown stop. These are being rolled out in preparation for the abolition of the Free Rail Zone (and ALL fare zones!) on September 1st, and I have to say that the removal of the old multi-colored zone rings is a great improvement. The poor old streetcar still gets short shrift (now being a grey squiggle instead of its previous brown squiggle), even with the imminent opening of the Eastside loop. what?! no more free rail zone aka Fareless Square :[
There’s a streetcar feasibility study being done by SDMTS for downtown—zoo on Park Blvd.  glad that MTS is updated on “mixed flow” lanes, instead of like Park Blvd. currently, where cars aren’t allowed to drive over the tracks. would take 5 years after project is identified and funded. via Todd Gloria.
