Anyone want to give us a lecture about how corporate pay levels are reasonable because the executives are always beholden to shareholders and work in their best interest? They shouldn't have got a bailout in the first place.

The bus will use the shoulder, where no cars currently ride. i read the part you quoted, thought it said 'lane to the left of the shoulder'. anyways, maybe we should open that lane up for normal traffic if it's not needed as a safety precation for broken down vehicles or used as a bus lane.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 16, 2009 -> 05:18 PM) So I just read something on the way home, and its related. Pace (Chicago's suburban bus service) is going to start special express bus services using dedicated lanes, for suburbs - to - city transit. The first pilot will be a bus along I-55, that gets exclusive access to a lane on the left shoulder. It would cut an hour off round trip commutes, and is much cheaper and faster to implement than a new train line. I was psyched when I first read the article, and still sort of am. Great idea. But then I saw this: Because Daley couldn't get the city council to pass congestion charging for the city in time to meet a deadline, the area lost $150M that could have gotten all these and more in place right away. That pissed me off a bit. Still though, the idea is solid, and I can see it being very successful with a very small investment. Link to article. This kind of thing, little efforts at making mass transit better for more people, are just great. wouldn't shutting down an entire lane for bus use completely cause traffic chaos? the roads seem bad enough without taking away a lane.

she's a fraud of a journalist, no doubt. CNN has been a Democrat party mouth peice for a long time.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Apr 16, 2009 -> 04:22 PM) Actually the line from Chicago to Detroit would be the most cost effective area to do it as Amtrak already owns a good chunk of the line. It seems that the bulk of the costs would come from electrifying the line as well as building over and underpasses to eliminate grade crossings. 150 mph trains are a great idea, just not when they are having truck traffic crossing it. that would be great if tracks just needed modificaion, new trains, and some accomidations for local traffic. but a line form Detroit to Chicago seems kind of... lame. who the hell wants to go to Detroit? lol

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 16, 2009 -> 03:34 PM) I don't think the protests were racist. I would assume most die hard Obama supporters want to paint his opposition as racist, but I think it's more misinformed than racist (although I can see why people are upset about government spending right now since I'm not particularly happy about it). it's usually some white guy calling everyone racist when there is actually no racism involved. that's the hilarious part.

I like the idea a lot, but we've blown all our money an crap we didn't need. can it be done for the 13 billion set aside? if so go for it. if it's going to end up being 100 billion, probably not a good idea. I guess it depends on how much high speed rail we get for $13,000,000,0000 as to whether i support the project. yea thats what i'm trying to say

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 16, 2009 -> 03:15 PM) If you haven't been in the Federal Plaza before, go back and look at the picture I posted earlier in this thread. If you filled the entire plaza, you might be able to get 10,000 to 15,000 people there. Let me put it this way. 250,000 is a slow day at Taste of Chicago, and that many people still cover about 4 city blocks using the streets and grassy areas of Grant Park. for sure. i'm from chicago and i know there is no way federal plaza is holding 250,000 people for a protest. that many people in that area would require streets to be shut down, have a big security presence, ect.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 16, 2009 -> 03:07 PM) Where in the heck did you get those numbers from? Being downtown I can tell you that no one in charge anticpated anything close to that because there was zero crowd preparations done anywhere but at the post office. Anything approaching that number couldn't have taken place where it did. If there were going to be a quarter of a million people, it would have HAD to take place in Grant Park. The city couldn't have been expecting 10% of that number. yea there's no way anyone was expecting 250,000 for this protest
