Only thing I hate about the picture is the strip of grass. Hate them more than power lines. It makes our urban neighborhoods look suburban.
Luckily that strip next to the on-street parking won't last with the foot traffic.

When can I vote by mail?
You can begin the process to vote by mail right now. Play it safe: don’t wait until the deadline to request or return your ballot. Request your ballot now, and vote and return your ballot as soon as you receive it.
Deadline to request your ballot: 5 PM on Tuesday, October 27
Deadline to submit your ballot: 5 PM on Tuesday, November 3, 2020Correct, mail-in voting is allowed, and should be encouraged. I mean if it's good enough for the current occupant of the White House to use, it should be good enough for everyone.
My earlier point was that in-person voting is even more archaic than waiting to pay your taxes on the final day, since at least the latter allows from any location, while the former only your polling place. A nation created to escape living under taxation without representation as former colonies should never accept voting having more difficulty or restrictions than paying taxes.

Did the dates for the absentee ballot change from 2016 to 2020? No. More hysteria I guess.
You're avoiding the question-- why can't voting be as easy as paying taxes?

Early voting IS absentee voting LMAO. Calling trump a Dictator. The hysterics are laughable.
He only wishes he were. He's not even a leader.
Imagine you could only pay taxes on April 15th at your ZIP code's post office, that's like only voting on election day at your polling place. Now add paying taxes before April 15th, but still limited by post offices, and that's early voting. But why not just online or any mailbox?

Early voting, absentee voting, the more options, the better. Only autocratic, tyrannical, totalitarian, dictatorship types discourage voting.

Signal priority and dedicated lanes where possible. Separate lanes at the end of the lines would be good, imagine trying to go along Central in traffic.
Continuing past CTC will be the only plus Streetcar has over Bus. Separate its tracks from traffic and that'd be another plus. But Central is not the street to lose lanes. Besides, Central is so close to Silver Line, I don't see fulfilling that tired vision as a priority any longer.
I say continue up Hawthorne to Parkwood/Plaza to Matheson back over to Blue Line. All streets with room to carve out exclusive tracks. And more importantly, all areas hot for more infill.

I assume since the existing line already went under 277 by the Government Center, no pedestrian improvements are being planned there? That is my typical walking route to work (when I decide to be the only pedestrian commuter in CLT). The underpass does really create a mental barrier that separates the walk in a negative way. Spending some amount on pedestrian improvements like the above could be huge especially since there is usually decent foot traffic around there with CPCC.
Yep, already done under 277. And the W Trade ped enhancements under 77 is a City bond project funded separately from Streetcar

Broke: replacing 277 with a river
Woke: replacing 277 with an intracoastal waterway

What's the nearest multi-story old building to Hall House / Barringer Hotel that's not a church? Ivey's? Just seems so few older buildings remain.

Like Tulsa rally tickets, Jacksonville rentals are a hot reserve-only option these days. As if moving your convention last-minute wasn't already a logistical nightmare.

^Ironically, the only section with passing lanes will be Uptown.

If the silver line doesn’t get shelved it will pass by that area and with the proposed station being where it is proposed to be. The radius of comfortable walking distance and area of most influence is about a radial distance of 0.5mi which includes that entire area. The picture below is possibly slight less than the 0.5mi but it includes that area almost entirely. Infill will surely happen then, if investors catch the wind of the Silver line with TOD.
Interesting that the walk circle stops at Independence, despite Pecan having a decent underpass with sidewalks and lighting, but crosses the railroad, where Central is about the only mediocre crossing for pedestrians.
Also seriously question how anyone would regularly transfer between Gold Line at Sunnyside and Silver Line at Pecan.

Businesses enforcing masks should be as easy as if no shirts or shoes, then no service.

Nope. Just like Phase One.

Not sure why you think this is SUCH a big deal. Hope the Redskins are next.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkLong overdue. Miami University changed theirs to RedHawks. Like 20 years ago. In Ohio.

^Maybe by the time Hawthorne opens, CATS will have an idea of how Silver Line squeezes around the new bridge.

Don’t leave us hanging, tell us why.
Just wait for the slogans on signs in Tulsa, or even Jacksonville. If MAGA or KAG now seem sparse, we just know all this abundant greatness now goes without saying.

Does CMS apportion their budget to school zones based on the property tax base in each school zone?
No, it's bad enough they apportion their students that way.

Just demilitarizing the police would be a key reform. Weapons not even allowed in warfare shouldn't be used on citizens.

Crossing at-grade would be ironic when a key argument against just overlapping the two lines in Uptown was capacity.
