Given the low ridership estimate of the SE LRT (2-car trains with about 500 passenger spaces at 8 minute frequencies), there likely is enough capacity on 7th Avenue when 4-car trains are available. It won't be pretty, but the alternative is needing another $2B. |
But why bother running down 7th. Just end the train and don’t cross 7th.
The original C-Train line was built on not being perfect and expanding the network. I think the focus on tunnelling downtown over playing track was a mistake.
