Looks like bus rapid transit (BRT) could be a great solution for SV. If they could get dedicated bus lanes (which is probably politically impossible) you could really clear up a lot of traffic and establish a way for people to forgo owning a car.
- cbhl 11y agoThe problem with BRT is that according to California's definitions, it has an unavoidable negative environmental impact. It took six years to do the environmental assessment for the Van Ness BRT in SF. http://www.citylab.com/commute/2014/07/transit-projects-are-about-to-get-much-much-easier-in-california/374049/ http://www.citylab.com/commute/2014/07/transit-projects-are-...
- r00fus 11y agoSo essentially this 2013 environmental report says that it'd make traffic tougher - assuming the same number of cars and no decrease due to bus ridership. Note: "The encouraging news is that this law is about to change. California will soon reform traffic analysis under CEQA by replacing "level of service" with another metric more in line with its environmental and urban mobility goals. " Does anyone know if this has indeed changed?
