This is a bad alignment that will hurt the U's walkability.<BR/><BR/>After an average speed of 6 mph through downtown, the train will max at, what, 35 or 45 coming across the bridge? Then there is another mile at a top speed of 15-20. It's going to take half an hour to get from the new ball park to Oak and Washington. The 6 will do it in two thirds that, and it takes the indirect route to get there. It's going to make Boston trains look fast.<BR/><BR/>This is the new Big K In The Way.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08896768934881498374noreply@blogger.com
