Re: [Mpls] Speaking of Traffic on Hiawatha Avenue

[Steve Nelson]

Maybe now people will stop laughing at Dean Zimmermann and PRT and start to 
realize the advantages of a system that does NOT interfere with busses or 
cars or trains.  Something that rises above it all, so to speak, and costs a 
FRACTION of what an el system like Chicago has would cost and a whole lot 
less than more LRT or BRT which still impact ground travel.

I have sat through 3 light changes to make a left hand turn. I don't know
how many minutes each light change is, times by three..but it seems 
lengthy.
But what do we know,  Liz!!
Just do as told, don't make waves now, ya hear.

This is NOT at all a gross exaggeration! I've actually witnessed this a
bunch of times and it actually freaks me out! My guess is you haven't
spent as much time using Hiawatha as much as those of us who live over
here. I've timed it sometimes that I've sat at stop lights for up to 10
minutes.

This is a gross exaggeration.  The E-W lights are _not_ green when
the crossing lights begin flashing.  If the E-W lights just changed
red as a train approaches, there is a short period when traffic is
stopped in all directions.
