To get these much commuter rails. We might need eight or more tracks for gateway station. And additional 3-4 tracks for inter-city trains in the long run. Which definitely doesn't have so much space in gateway area and in current land use plan

Duke energy can find some retired utility pole higher than 14 feet from warehouse and plug it on top this building .

So should CATS order more Siemens train sets for Blue line now.

How expansive to bury all power/comm line underground in south end?

For Hawthorne Bridge, my understanding from the slide is CATS want to use express lane space for Silver line. So it actually runs below Hawthorne Bridge. No modification needed at all.

In Nov MTC meeting minutes, Looks like there will be Silver Line Rail Trail Blue Line Ridership up 49.9% YoY, although last year the hurricane knock out Blue line for about ten days in October. Edit the YoY percentage

We can make 277 one direction and use other half for Silver Line. Cap it if you want to pretend we have metro system.
