High Speed Rail is Coming to Milwaukee
July 20th, 2010 at 8:10 amThe Special Solicitation for Final Design of the new train shed says that the design part of the project is due to be completed July 31st. It doesn’t provide any info about a construction timeline, though. Hopefully soon!
Streetcars and Trams Around the World
February 1st, 2010 at 10:43 pmBombardier has a pretty slick website offering their new Flexity 2 Streetcar/Tram vehicles. In the literature, they noted that the vehicles can operate entirely with a catenary wire, and that their propreitary (of course) system is especially useful for cities with a significant amount of snow and ice. I sure hope that the city and its consultants are considering this leading edge vehicle (I’m sure other manufacturers make something similar) when they are making decisions.
Here’s the website: http://www.flexity2.bombardier.com/swf/index.html
Thanks for the summary, guys!
Milwaukee Streetcar Routes Unveiled by Mayor Barrett
January 14th, 2010 at 8:20 pmHave you guys (Dave and Jeramey) heard anything more about a locally preferred alternative? I know that milwaukeeconnector.com gave a timetable with a “locally preferred alternative approved” in December 2009 to January 2010. Would the City Common Council be in charge of choosing this alternative? The City engineering department?
S. 2nd Street Redesign Approved by the Common Council
December 25th, 2009 at 2:57 pmYes! Its great to see such a satisfying result when the community members have worked so hard to achieve it.
Milwaukee Streetcar Routes Unveiled by Mayor Barrett
October 8th, 2009 at 8:03 amIn addition to the convention center, it might be important for the streetcar to make an appearance on Downtown’s main drag west of the river.
Something else I have been wondering about…I’m assuming the streetcar line and the vehicles themselves will need some sort of maintenance shed. Looking at alternative 1, it seems to me that one of the best places for this building to go would be in the 4th and Clybourn Area. I assumed that was another reason why that particular little jaunt. Any other ideas where it could go?
