Even large systems completely separated from traffic that are designed to handle that many trains like the New York City Subway system can struggle when trains are too frequent - trains run slow or delayed due to running back-to-back with each other. If you run trains frequently with 3-4 lines on the same track, you're talking about trains coming through every 3-4 mins. 2 lines per corridor is the most sensible option when considering that UTA may have to run trains more frequently in the future to handle growth (12 mins or better). New designs need to use different corridors rather than trying to cram 3-4 lines onto the same mainline track. Add in a fourth line and/or improve service to handle increasing ridership and the system will start having serious reliability issues. The existing TRAX mainline gets overwhelmed when even a simple special event like a football game comes up on a weekday. When a system gets large and heavily used, it needs an element of redundancy in the design. (Another example is Wilson Boulevard in Arlington, a line of 4 stations in about 2 miles, but with major rezoning in advance, setting the stage for change.)īut in general, Utah's focus on transit is very pro sprawl, rather than pro transit. And that area has featured the most transit related intensification overall. But inadvertently it created an intra city DC network, a core of 31 stations that function monocentricly. You can kinda do both, but it's too long for me to type on my phone.īut as an example, DC built a polycentric spread out system. One of the best books on this is Cities in Full by Steve Belmont, which discusses polycentric versus monocentric transit systems. Transit isn't particularly effective at concentrating sprawl when it's all spread out. Maybe a Frontrunner Line on I-215.Īnyway, this is a great idea, and what LA County did. Eg connecting the Red Line to the S Line, a line on 700 East. I worked as an advocate on these kinds of issues in DC for 20 years and wrote extensively about it.Īnd worked with a graphic artist to do something similar although your work is better.Ī big problem to me is lack of enough north-south service on the east. I am relatively new to the area so not super familiar with the places outside of Salt Lake City.
