I haven't written more about the BQX because I just don't see it as being very important compared to, say, the Tribororx or the Rockaway Branch.<br /><br />"Keeping industrial zones intact" sounds good, but as I wrote last year, in practice these zones are very problematic:<br /><br />http://capntransit.blogspot.com/2015/07/do-new-yorks-manufacturing-zones.htmlCap'n Transithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17057887736728828646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862444008740250372.post-75521335769721740612016-08-11T10:41:38.507-04:002016-08-11T10:41:38.507-04:00Genius insight into the multiple simultaneous stre...Genius insight into the multiple simultaneous street fair problem.<br /><br />But Captn Transit, only one article since June? I am Jonesin for transit information and insight. How about talking about that BQX streetcar? I want your solution for keeping the industrial uses intact, and not having every building get converted to housing or self-storage.<br /><br />Why isn't there a more detailed map of where it would go? Are they still planning it?<br />Captn Transit, you're my hero.

They, and I, just breathed so much easier. For people often stuck in their apartment, it was a real event for them.<br /><br />That said, I agree wholeheartedly about keeping the bike lanes open. In Montreal a few years ago, a bicycling paradise, I was stunned to see the JazzFest close down the major cross-town protected bike lane on St. Catherines Street. Finding my way around it took a long time.The Amateur Transporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11004281174306673509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862444008740250372.post-21267305162102218712016-07-26T20:44:55.074-04:002016-07-26T20:44:55.074-04:00Get rid of street fairs.
