Community Streetcar Coalition News Clips April 19 – April 26, 2018 COMMUNITY STREETCAR COALITION NEWS CLIPS COMPILED BY BROADCAST CLIPS Dallas CBS11 April 24, 2018 LINK: https://bit.ly/2JotrqF Riding the streetcar in Dallas could soon cost riders a small fee. It currently runs from Union Station to the Bishop Arts District, and DART is suggesting a $1 fare starting in September. City council will consider the matter tomorrow. El Paso KVIA April 20, 2018 LINK: https://bit.ly/2Fkxx0y In El Paso the Camino Real Regional Mobility Authority is adding the region’s first two-way bike lane, part of the ongoing El Paso streetcar project. As the project is closer to becoming finalized, drivers are learning to adjust to the change in traffic, and so are bicyclists. ABC7’s Josie Ortegon has more. We’re having to come back at this point and look at the infrastructure on our roads and say how can we make them safer? Scott White has been keeping a close eye on the El Paso streetcar project. As part of the addition of streetcars, the Camino Real Regional Mobility Authority is adding new two-way bike lanes, a designated green crossing lane for bicyclists, bicycle signals and four-foot-high delineators. It looks like protection, but if a car goes out of control, if you fall and hit this thing. Martin Bartlett with the El Paso streetcar project says engineers chose the delineators specifically because the height allows for maximum reflectivity from a vehicle’s headlights. White is also worried about the amount of space within the bike lanes. The lanes themselves are only four feet wide. That’s not a lot of extra room if you’re going very fast down the hill and someone is coming up the hill. The CRRMA and the designers are confident that the width of the bicycle lanes is absolutely adequate. Engineers will continue to test the bike signals before opening up the bike lanes, and until they get the green light, drivers and bicyclists will need to adapt. Because it is a change in design, there is a learning curve. Whenever you try something new and try something different, that often comes with complications. Worcester NBC 10 Boston April 20, 2018 LINK: https://bit.ly/2Hw4h8X And in Worcester, what was old could soon be new again. A Worcester city councilor is proposing restoring a vintage trolley or streetcar system in downtown Worcester. Councilor Sean Rose’s plan would have the trolley’s running in a one-mile area out from city hall in all directions. The last time trolleys ran through the city was 1945. 2 PRINT COVERAGE Officials address pedestrian driver safety surrounding streetcar KVIA By Joey Carrera April 26, 2018 Pick-up stations in the middle of slimming streets caused concerns about El Paso Streetcar safety. The project is scheduled to roll out in around six months, but since the beginning safety manager Jose Marquez said tests to try and divert disaster have been conducted. "It started with the clearance test," said Marquez. Crews made sure the cars were able to smoothly operate on the tracks with enough space to avoid a collision with curbs or fixed objects. In many areas, near Stanton Street and Arizona Avenue, for example, passengers waits on platforms in the middle of the streets. Marquez said testing in that specific area has not been done, but precautions are in place. "Additional striping and signs have been implemented in that area to increase the safety of motorists and pedestrians including specific striping on the roads," said Marquez. The streetcar path twists and turns in downtown, but Marquez said they will soon have their own stop lights. Car 1506 is only being tested at night, however, as the next phase approaches, Marquez said it will be tested during the day to acclimate the public to sharing the roadways. Crews are still devising plans to address various emergency situations. Those plans have to be approved by state safety agencies, such as the Texas Department of Transportation. In fact, Marquez said crews have to two drills annually. The November launch date is still on schedule, according to Marquez. Planned operating hours are listed below: Monday through Thursday 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday 7 a.m. - 1 a.m. Saturday 8a.m. to 1 a.m. Sunday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. 3 Marqez said no security personnel have been hired to patrol pick-up stops, or the vehicles. Riders will have to tug on cord inside the bus to signal the driver to stop.

State transportation officials tried to lower the project’s cost by reducing its scope. But the new bids were still higher than the $142.5 million maximum that would have allowed the state to move forward with the streetcar system. A second bid, $154.8 million, came from the Stacy & Witbeck and Herzog Contracting group. Broward Mayor Beam Furr, who had supported the project in the past, said he sees the new bids as the end of the line for the downtown streetcar project. “I would be very surprised if there’s any support for it at this point,” Furr said. “I will be getting together with our county attorney to see what our next steps are.” Fort Lauderdale’s newly elected commission has been on the record wanting to abandon the project. The commission will hold a workshop Monday to review the city’s options and plans to vote on the Wave project at its meeting Tuesday. Mayor Dean Trantalis and commissioners Steve Glassman and Ben Sorensen pledged during their recent election campaigns that they would vote to kill the project. The state’s selection committee is scheduled to meet May 3 to select a winning bid, but transportation officials Thursday said they were unsure what would happen now. Last year, the state’s selection team rejected construction bids that were more than $74 million over budget. The bids rejected in November for the Wave construction work ranged from $188.7 million to $218 million, which would have pushed the total project cost to $270 million or higher, or more than $96 million per mile for the 2.8-mile route. The light rail streetcars — which cost $5 million a piece — would run on or near Andrews Avenue from Northeast Sixth Street to Southeast 17th Street.

The Sun Sentinel By Dan Sweeney April 25, 2018 Ten years ago, it seemed like a great idea. A street car system through Fort Lauderdale, cutting down on the city’s growing traffic problem. Now, 10 years on, the Wave street car is mired in controversy. The new Fort Lauderdale City Commission doesn’t want it. The first round of bids all came in way over budget. And if a new round of bids due Thursday doesn’t come in under $142.5 million, the city can pull the plug. And yet, traffic through downtown Fort Lauderdale seems worse than ever, and most people agree that some sort of mass transit option is necessary, especially when the city has been trying to encourage a pedestrian, downtown-centered lifestyle. We want to know what you think. Is the Wave, a street car system with overhead electrical wires that would run on existing roads, a viable mass transit system? Even with the issue of running on the same streets as all the traffic-causing cars, it would still take a few of them off the road. And if the Wave isn’t an option, do you have a better idea? Keep in mind, more than $82 million in federal grants have already been allotted to the project, and if the new bids come in under $142.5 million, the city would be breaking a contract to kill the deal, opening it up to potential lawsuits. What’s your vision for transportation in the Fort Lauderdale of the future? Email [email protected], tweet @Daniel_Sweeney or comment below. Your response could be used in a future story.

After all, the city sits on the burial ground of one of the most embarrassing public transit debacles in the nation: the abandoned subway. The story of Cincinnati’s mass transit woes reads like an epic Russian novel spanning generations. Struggling bus services, rejected tax levies, one abandoned project after another for 100 years, including, yes, that subway system. Why don’t we have better public transportation? Wallace Power asked that question while he sat in bumper-to-bumper traffic on Beechmont Avenue in 1964. A crash had snarled traffic, giving Power time to think. “As I sat there, I thought how bad it was that more of us were not on buses,” said Power, who, as the utilities director for the city at the time, was responsible for roads and infrastructure.

  • The History of San Diego's Horse Cars
    December 2015 The History of San Diego’s Horse Cars By William Niedrich Part Two The shed made from the former St Louis horse car was dismantled about the mid 1960’s and the parts were stored in Mr. Gerdes garage where Charlie started making his sketches and drawings. In 1987 Mrs. Gerdes donated the horse car parts, along with some other items, to SDERA. Charlie passed away in July 1989. Later, in 1991, Mrs. Gerdes donated his notes, sketches and brown paper drawings to the Association. At that time, she permitted copies to be made of her husband’s photo of the shed (Photo on page 5). The vellum drawings were not included. Mrs. Gerdes remembers seeing them when her husband was alive, however, she has never been able to locate them.
