Capital New York

jabailo commented on The surprising return of the three-borough 'X line' subway

This sounds like some of the crazy and great rail systems we've built here around Seattle...light rail at the surface level (LINK) and commuter trains that run on freight lines (Sounder). For a city that wants to reclaim it's streets for pedestrians and bicycles, I'm surprised, for example that rather than building a 2nd avenue subway, they didn't build a 2nd avenue trolley, and put it on a road diet with more lanes for pedestrians and bicyclists.
