Dubai [Metro]Polis: Infrastructural Landscapes and Urban Utopia
Dubai [Metro]polis: Infrastructural Landscapes and Urban Utopia When Dubai Metro was launched in 2009, it became a new catalyst for urban change but also a modern tool to interact with the city - providing a visual experience and an unprecedented perception of moving in space and time, almost at the edge between the imaginary and the real. By drawing on the traditional association between train, perception and the city we argue that the design and planning of Dubai Metro is intended as a signifier of modernity for the Gulf region, with its futuristic designs and in the context of the local socio-cultural associations. NADIA MOUNAJJED INTRODUCTION Abu Dhabi University For the last four decades, Dubai epitomized a model for post-oil Gulf cities and positioned itself as a subject for visionary thinking and urban experimentation. PAOLO CARATELLI During the years preceding 2008, Dubai became almost a site of utopia - evoking Abu Dhabi University a long tradition of prolific visionary thinking about the city – particularly 1970s utopian projects. Today skyscrapers, gated communities, man-made islands, iconic buildings and long extended waterfronts, dominate the cityscape. Until now, most of the projects are built organically within a fragmented urban order, often coexisting in isolation within a surrounding incoherence. When inaugu- rated in 2009, Dubai Metro marked the beginning of a new association between urbanity, mobility and modernity. It marked the start of a new era for urban mass transit in the Arabian Peninsula and is now perceived as an icon of the emirate’s modern urbanity (Ramos, 2010, Decker, 2009, Billing, n. -

Investigation Future Planning of Railway Networks in the Arabs Gulf Countries
M. E. M. Najar & A. Khalfan Al Rahbi, Int. J. Transp. Dev. Integr., Vol. 1, No. 4 (2017) 654–665 INVESTIGATION FUTURE PLANNING OF RAILWAY NETWORKS IN THE ARABS GULF COUNTRIES MOHAMMAD EMAD MOTIEYAN NAJAR & ALIA KHALFAN AL RAHBI Department of Civil Engineering, Middle East College, Muscat, Oman ABSTRACT Trans-border railroad in the Arabian Peninsula dates back to the early 20th century in Saudi Arabia. Over the recent decades due to increasing population and developing industrial zones, the demands are growing up over time. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is now embarking on one of the largest modern cross-border rail networks in the world. This is an ambitious step regarding the planning and establishment of the rail network connecting all the six GCC countries. This railway network will go through at least one city in each country to link the cities of Kuwait in Kuwait, Dammam in Saudi Arabia, Manama in Bahrain, Doha in Qatar, the cities of Abu Dhabi and Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates and Sohar and then Muscat in Oman in terms of cargo and passengers. The area of investigation covers different aspects of the shared Arabian countries rail routes called ‘GCC line’ and their national rail network. The aim of this article is to study the existing future plans and policies of the GCC countries shared line and domestic railway network. This article studies the national urban (light rail transportation (LRT), metro (subways) and intercity rail transportation to appraise the potential of passenger movement and commodity transportation at present and in the future. -

Transit Architecture for Growing Cities
COMMUNICATIVE DESIGN: TRANSIT ARCHITECTURE FOR GROWING CITIES A Thesis presented to the Faculty of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Architecture by James Derek Holloway June 2014 © 2014 James Derek Holloway ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP TITLE: Communicative Design: Transit Architecture for Growing Cities AUTHOR: James Derek Holloway DATE SUBMITTED: June 2014 COMMITTEE CHAIR: Umut Toker, Ph.D. Associate Professor of City and Regional Planning COMMITTEE MEMBER: Mark Cabrinha, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Architecture COMMITTEE MEMBER: Kevin Dong, SE Professor of Architectural Engineering iii ABSTRACT Communicative Design: Transit Architecture for Growing Cities James Derek Holloway Increasing urban populations are currently magnifying the importance of the transit station in the context of its surrounding systems. In order to prepare our cities for higher population densities in the future, an examination of the relationships between station form and individual experience may lead to the identification of specific design objectives with implications for increased pub- lic transit riderships. Data is collected through research on sensory perception in architecture, spatial organization, and connectivity between an individual structure and it’s local surroundings. Site-specific observations and information describing current professional practices are used to determine prominent design objectives for future implementation. Keywords: -

Service Alerts – Digital Displays
Service Alerts – Digital Displays TriMet has digital displays at most MAX Light Rail stations to provide real-time arrival information as well as service disruption/delay messaging. Some of the displays are flat screens as shown to the right. Others are reader boards. Due to space, the messages need to be as condensed as possible. While we regularly post the same alert at stations along a line, during the Rose Quarter MAX Improvements we provided more specific alerts by geographical locations and even individual stations. This was because the service plan, while best for the majority of riders, was complex and posed communications challenges. MAX Blue Line only displays MAX Blue Line disrupted and frequency reduced.

Waterfront Line Phase II Briefing Paper
Waterfront Line Phase II briefing paper All Aboard Ohio, a nonprofit rail and transit advocacy organization, has formally asked the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority to include in its ongoing Next Gen system planning and 2030 Strategic Planning processes a review options for improving very low and stagnant ridership on its 1996- built Downtown Waterfront extension of its light-rail Blue & Green lines. These are the options All Aboard Ohio suggested to GCRTA in a Nov. 30, 2020 letter: STATUS QUO/ROUTE MANAGEMENT: keep the route as-is but with relatively minor changes such as more advertising, revised schedules, fare-free service & more development at stations. ABANDONMENT: discontinue all service, remove tracks, stations, bridges and refunding to the Federal Transit Administration Waterfront Line state-of-good-repair funds (estimated at up to $10 million). WATERFRONT EAST EXTENSION: In 2004, the City of Cleveland’s lakefront plan (its most recent) proposed a 3.5-mile, seven-station extension of the Waterfront Line east along the CSX railroad tracks to near Bratenahl with new transit-supportive developments near most stations. DOWNTOWN LOOP EXTENSION: In 2000, following a federally compliant Major Investment Study/Alternatives Analysis, GCRTA selected as its locally preferred alternative an extension of the Waterfront Line along East 17th Street, Prospect Avenue, East 21st/22nd Streets, Community College Avenue and East 30th Street. AAO proposes a routing via East 13th Street and Euclid Avenue. All Aboard Ohio favors extending the Waterfront Line as a Downtown Loop because: GCRTA’s Waterfront Line Phase II 2000 study showed that the Downtown Loop could achieve a cost per new rider of less than $14. -

West LRT Project: Enabling Mobility and Transit Oriented Development
TAC Sustainable Urban Transportation Award Submission by City of Calgary West LRT Project: Enabling Mobility and Transit Oriented Development INTRODUCTION The City of Calgary opened a new light rail transit (LRT) line in December 2012, marking a key milestone in sustainable transportation for Calgary that we can offer as a national case study. Calgary is recognized as an expansive and growing prairie city, but less well known are The City’s vision, plans and efforts in moving towards a more sustainable future. Sustainability principles and considerations are now embedded in all plans and investments. The City is making decisions and building infrastructure today that will affect citizens for the next 100 years or more. A case in point is the newest LRT line routing which will be highly influential to where and how people will live, work and move around the city. The West LRT Project is the largest capital project ever undertaken by The City, and it’s the sole new transit line developed in Calgary in over 20 years. Many aspects of the project are remarkable, both in terms of project approach (construction practices, stakeholder engagement, and project financing) and outcomes (expanded mobility choices, shifting urban form). The 8.2km long LRT line extension from downtown to the west serves several communities in Southwest Calgary and provides the most convenient access to the greatest number of people. The chosen alignment allows the shortest possible feeder bus trips for travel to and from the LRT stations for those people who are beyond walking distance. The new transit line enables mobility and mobility choice for the area’s current 105,000 residents, and for the rest of the city’s 1.2 million residents to access that area.
