So speeding up service for your passengers you have left is a bad idea? Doesn't sound very smart for transit agencies trying to survive the challenges of increased auto traffic making bus traffic slower and therefore discretionary passengers go elsewhere. I really disliked it when he became my supervisor. Rocky Donohue was so against taking care of the little guy or the grandma who needed to go shopping
This is one type of reason I left Pace many many years ago now.and the new ED fits the mold You watch, just like the CTA x routes, these buses will be empty or close to it. Pace has been on this band wagon for 20+ years. It seems like Chicago is more interested in slowing traffic instead of flowing traffic.Īs far as I am concerned, it is a terrible money wasting idea. What is the stop interval for Pulse Milwaukee and what will be the intervals for Pulse on Dempster, 95th, and Halsted? In regards to Halsted, whatever advantages skip stop services bring get offset by stop signs at some side streets. It seems to me that the current 1/2 mile intervals for the in city Pace routes work well enough. Those branches have the top three rail ridership numbers. While the E-W streets on the north side are ALL narrow and congested like crazy, one benefit is the substantial increase in ridership on the north side Red, Blue, and Brown Lines. Being far more intelligent than Chicago's numbskulls, they tested it out first with cones & jersey blocks. Several years ago, Skokie planned a road diet for Oakton, from Skokie Blvd., west to past the library. Most WB cars on Logan want to turn left onto Elston for all the shopping there, but must wait out several red lights, due to the lack of a left turn arrow! One of the worst of these intersections is Logan & Elston. The following is an exact quote from that article that I've never forgotten: "We don't believe in left turns, we want traffic to go straight"! As an example of that, numerous intersections in the city still don't have left turn arrows, despite the fact that there are left turn lanes. Maybe 15-20 years ago, the Trib had a long article & interview with a Chicago traffic engineer. Chicago's traffic engineers are totally incompetent. Road diets in Chicago never work as advertised.
