What Old Transit Maps Can Teach Us About a City's Future
- peatmoss 12y agoCurse you, MARTA! As a Seattleite and urban planner, I have a particular sadness with respect to MARTA. The plan in the late 1960s was for a heavy commuter line like BART or MARTA to be built in Seattle with 20% local match, and 80% federal funds. Seattle voters rejected it. Federal funds went to Atlanta. While this was really Seattle's fault, I still find it more convenient to direct my anger toward Atlanta.
