Cleveland Rapid Transit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Cleveland Rapid Transit (generally known as The Rapid) is the name of the rail rapid-transit system in Cleveland, Ohio, owned by the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority. They are all that remains of Cleveland's once-extensive streetcar system, though the lines currently run modern light rail equipment rather than PCC cars. The sharing of one route between light and heavy rail is quite unusual, and the shared stations have platforms of varying heights to accommodate the two kinds of trains. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Cleveland_Rapid_Transit

WMATA Washington D.C. Metro System Overview Most stations (except a few on the Orange line) have sheet metal pylons on their platforms and mezzanines; these are enameled in dark brown and have white lettering indicating the station name running sideways up the pylon. The station lighting is indirect - a mixture of mercury-vapor lamps (in the crowns of the pylons), and flourescent tubes (located at the bases of the station walls). A reason for the architecture change between the older stations and the newer ones was simply an economy measure: the Arch design stations use concrete panels, pre-cast in Winchester, VA then hauled underground and erected. world.nycsubway.org /us/washdc/overview.html

Cuyahoga County Planning Commission Weblog Archive Cleveland State professor Thomas Bier recently spoke to a gathering of Bedford leaders, advised them to build upon their existing assets by preserving their historic buildings, and cautioned that the city may experience continued outmigration. The City of Cleveland Heights' experiment of purchasing a Derbyshire Road duplex and renting it to police officers was a success, as police calls to the area dropped from 184 in 2002 to four last year. Cleveland Restoration Society Executive Director Kathleen H. Crowther urges area leaders to coordinate their downtown construction efforts and promotes the reuse and expansion of existing historic facilities. planning.co.cuyahoga.oh.us /blog/2005_01_01_archive.html

Cleveland, Ohio - Enpsychlopedia Cleveland was hit hard by white flight and suburbanization, further exacerbated by the busing-based desegregation of Cleveland schools required by the United States Supreme Court. Cleveland became one of the major manufacturing and population centers of the United States, home of numerous major steel firms. Cleveland's ethnic population has left its mark on the city in variety of architectural styles, especially in the many older churches throughout the city. www.grohol.com /wiki/Cleveland,_Ohio

DCP - Euclid Avenue The Tower City complex in downtown Cleveland offers a central hub for the RTA light rail "rapid transit" system and several major bus lines. Cleveland is one of America's great major league sports towns with Indians baseball at Jacobs Field, Browns football at Browns Stadium on the lakefront, Cavaliers basketball and Barons hockey at Gund Arena, even Cleveland State basketball and Force indoor soccer at the CSU Convocation Center. Cleveland, located within 500 miles of nearly half of all U.S. households, is considered the heart of the Midwest, and is on major freight and passenger routes connecting New York City and Chicago. www.downtownclevelandpartnership.com /communityprofile2004.html

The Returning City: Historic Preservation and Transit in the Age of Civic Revival PART A The rebirth of these historic stations is only part of the much larger story of how transit, urban revitalization, and historic preservation are working in concert to bring back our city and town centers. Transit systems have stages of development and maturity and are at specific stages of maturity in different parts of their own systems. Plano's station area development is pedestrian-friendly and in harmony with the principles of the modern transit village. www.planning.dot.gov /Documents/CaseStudy/Cities/returning_city.htm

Financing Transit Systems Through Value Capture As a result, area within a quarter mile radius of a transit line or station is considered to have better access than other areas, providing benefits to residents and businesses due to reduced transportation costs and access to a larger pool of potential services, jobs, customers and employees. For many years these experts assumed that transit accessibility was being displaced in importance by automobile accessibility, but in recent years there has been increasing recognition of the potential importance of public transit, and therefore the potential that proximity to quality transit service can increase nearby property values (Litman, 2002). The housing near two of the stations those residents lived in did lease at building rents that were 10%-15% higher; around the third (Richmond) no rent premium was found. www.vtpi.org /smith.htm

clevescene.com News Derailed 2000-12-21 Unlike in other towns, Cleveland's rapid lines are so old that there's little evidence here of how a new station can spark development. RTA is also hoping to make the Waterfront Line -- the only new rapid line it's built in the last 30 years -- a complete loop, extending it from the Flats and the lakefront south past Playhouse Square, Cleveland State University, and Cuyahoga Community College. So our rapid lines only serve two suburbs, stopping in many sparsely populated neighborhoods, but not reaching some of the most dense ones. www.clevescene.com /issues/2000-12-21/news.html

Crazy Atheist Libertarian Finally, perhaps the best-known feature of bus rapid transit is what planners call "intelligent transportation systems." A device will transmit a bus's position and speed, through centralized computers, to a traffic light as the bus approaches. When bus rapid transit is finally in place, the changes will probably include designated bus lanes that will not compete with parked cars for space. New York City Transit, whose buses run on some of the most congested streets in the world, says it would be delighted to achieve even half of those speed gains. www.angelfire.com /cantina/newsaz/ib000416.html

Bus Rapid Transit Central With the FTA’s waiting list of costly New Start rail projects approaching 100, and traffic congestion continuing to grow in metropolitan areas throughout the country, transit operators are being advised to consider an innovative alternative – Bus Rapid Transit. The resulting service, now being packaged as Bus Rapid Transit, or BRT, promises to bring faster, cheaper relief to all but a handful of the nation’s busiest, most densely populated corridors. Likewise, in Cleveland, an electrified busway being developed along downtown Euclid Avenue, is attempting to use better transit service as well as streetscape improvements as catalysts for redevelopment. www.homestead.com /brtc/files

Books / Special Items Drawing from interviews with transit workers, Snyder looks at their lives from many perspectives, from the varied elements of operation (stations, shops, policing, etc.) to the the social issues that affect every occupation in distinctive ways (race, women's issues, unionization, age). The result is an engaging narrative that charmingly shows the human component of the transit system and implicitly offers us insight into the complex humanity associated with all infrastructure. André Quintanar's Les Stations Fermées du Métro de Paris is a fascinating companion piece to the entries above, as well as a source of more interesting links. www.reed.edu /~reyn/metroitems.html

Secretary Mineta Recommends 34 Key Transit Projects For Federal Funding; Federal Investments to Improve Job Access The recommendations sent today were included in the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) Annual Report on New Starts for fiscal year 2005, which includes federal funding recommendations for important subway, light rail and bus rapid transit programs. A complete list of projects recommended under the New Starts program is available on-line at www.fta.dot.gov. The project will extend the existing LRT from the Old Town Transit Center in San Diego to Balboa Avenue and provide an alternative to the congested conditions on I-5 north of downtown San Diego. www.dot.gov /affairs/fta204.htm

San Francisco's BART and CALTRANS Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) and CalTrain both seem to be doing a good job of "studying" solutions to the Peninsula traffic mess. Rail and transit lobby groups are concerned that expensive right-of-way acquisition projects could absorb millions and leave few dollars to improve or add service. Stations will be located in median in center of strip. www.rosshorwood.com /RailSiteLinksFiles/BART.html

BigSoccer Boards - So apparently Cleveland is official. Downtown does have some advantages: great bars, decent places to eat, rapid transit trains, etc. Don't know how they'll feel about tailgating, but I'd guess that certain areas, like around the football stadium, would be fine. Cleveland will not support a club, even with the ready made derby that we'll all be driving to. Cleveland prides itself on having overcome their rustbelt, postindustrial, burning river, working class image. www.bigsoccer.com /forum/showthread.php?t=83594

Technologies SeaTac, Washington – Personal Rapid Transit -- The City of SeaTac, Washington 1997 MIS recommended a PRT along 12.1 miles of "one-way" guideway (see the map) and serving a forecasted ridership of 24,000 patrons, utilizing 21 PRT stations. RUF (Rapid, Urban, Flexible) Personal Rapid Transit Technology a dual-mode (street and guideway) vehicle highlighted here for the artist renderings of These BRT resources are cited as resources by Richard Shultz in his citizen's proposal for a mass transit system for Austin, TX — the system would combine bus and taxi-van service under the heading of Cellular Mass Transit, and is based significantly on BRT. www.scwalkandroll.com /LibraryIndices/Tech.html

Chapter II: Interborough Routes and Stations YSTEM OF [page 16] The extensions of and additions to the rapid transit lines operated by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company will add about 168 miles to its 191 miles of existing trackage. The Seventh Avenue extension of the subway in Manhattan to be operated by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company will be connected with Brooklyn by a new tunnel. Near 180th Street this road will connect with the line of the New York, Westchester and Boston Railway, of the New Haven system, at a station to be used jointly by each, so that passengers may transfer from one to the other without leaving shelter. www.nycsubway.org /dual/newsubways2.html
