1. Is fare collection going to happen on the boarding islands? If not, how unusual is that for BRT?
2. In Option 2, why does Washington get island boarding, but Madison gets curb-extension boarding? Can the latter be made to eat up less space overall?
3. In Option 3, where do people get on/off a bus that's in the middle lane?
4. Would it make sense to release all restrictions on Loop BRT lanes after, say, 8pm, and return them either to parkers or drivers?
5. A correction to my post a little while ago about the cta maps; the new marina is at 31st Street, not 35th. Blair Kamin has a glowing writeup of it
published today.
