By 2030 the metropolitan area is going to be approaching 300k people. At some point shortly after that (if it's not already critical) we are are going to need some sort of higher volume Mass Transit. Now is the time to start planning where you would want these lines to run, where the stations would go and what types of mass transit they would be. If you plan ahead you've be able to incorporate it into the city development plan and have developers plan around this. You'd also be able to control, somewhat, where the pockets of higher density would go in the city. Ideally you would want to connect up these points... 1. West Acres Mall You'd also want to establish this early own as to keep down the costs of implementing such mass transit tends to be extremely expensive and difficult after places are already well developed. |
