Yeahdoug

I looked up the parcel and no permits pulled yet. Hmmm

What do we have here? Taking samples for selling or for some plans? Installing something? Others side of the tracks on W Trade.

Sorry for the terrible quality. More light testing.

What’s the operating budget? Without a reliable wait time of 10 mins or less I can’t see this ever being used for commuting and pay fare. At this point just eat the annual operating expense and sell it as an economic development tool for the west side, center city, and plaza.

Yeah that’s what I mean. The button doesn’t really influence the traffic signal. No need to hit it unless you need the audio.

I can’t remember who it was, but the person in charge of Charlotte’s traffic light system, specifically uptown, was on Charlotte talks last year. They were very clear that most of the traffics signals in uptown are “dumb”. They work purely off time. The only thing they change to make it “smart” is vary the timing depending on the time of day. They can sync them to change together or offset one another, but very few have sensor loops in the ground to actually sense a vehicle. It’s really stupid that early in the morning I’m having to stop on trade for a light changing for no reason lol. Also related to this are a lot of the new pedestrian signals say. “For audio signal only” or something like that. I don’t think they have any influence on the signal changing. Just whether or not the machine gun sounds are used.

Smart traffic lights would go a long way to making this thing faster. It blows my mind that all the uptown traffic lights are purely time based. There’s no reason the streetcar should have to stop at an empty light in the middle of the night. It should be changing before it gets there. Pop a new lower valance on that baby and good as new.

Yeah the problem is the track crosses from the left hand lane to the right there. So people pull over on the right side and block the train…

I think they got out for a closer look

Yeah I saw it lit up rainbow once. The sign is really cool though. Had Alex bowmans car for the race yesterday

FNB could have used some lights Honeywell looks great

I had the pleasure of waiting 15 mins for a car to get off the tracks 1/2 block from the Tryon station in front of hooters. Gateway station to Tryon in like 25 mins… it’s an 8 min walk but decided to jump on the train since it was right there. My bad.

The 101 Tryon Reno is getting closer to being finished. The landscaping is a little ridiculous outside Coco. These tree mounds are high af lol

Wrong thread..,,

Most of CATS tweets are Gold Line issues now maybe someone crapped their pants because it took 90 mins to go 3 miles I’m guessing this is a fare increase proposal right? Which is ridiculous for such a short and time inefficient ride.
