I don't think a train that went in a tiny circle in a loop makes sense at all. Who'd ride it? Where would people get on? Or off? Sounds like a big hassle with no benefit.
Either way, it looks like the DTSD Partnership no longer is behind that idea:
#1 This one is the proposal, dated March 2007.
#2 Is a Dec 2007 endorsement of 3 downtown projects, none include the loop. |
The loop would service all riders. The Blue would simply terminate at either 1 America Plaza or Santa Fe (why there are two stops one block from each other escapes me) and the Orange would terminate at the Imperial transfer. Read the proposal. The loop would consist of 2 cars, thus eliminating the way the current system blocks traffic along C street, and this loop would be synchronized with traffic signals, increasing the efficiency of the system.
