> Has anyone actually heard of any reason given for > why Lowry would be preferable to West Broadway for a BRT route?
I can think of one, but it doesn't require any special effort. Run a real bus line along Lowry from parkway to parkway. The route there now is a "get-people-to-work" bus that doesn't even run on weekends. If you don't work 9-to-5 or you want to use the bus for anything besides work, this bus system is fundamentally broken, and that sort of thing is just a symptom of it. > BRT is proposed to run on Lowry Avenue North and on West Broadway. > This is not a case of "them vs. us".

The existing transit options on that corridor are not even being used to their fullest potential. And if the BRT proposal includes crossing the river, is this just another weekday-workday plan or is it going to be a serious effort to provide transit options? FWIW, I can't find the plan. www.lowryave.com links to the Henn Co site, but it comes up 404.
