@shawn_dubs Yeah it’s basically apples and oranges. I don’t know what our total is in lane miles but it’s a lot more than 3,600.
@mkimball011 It's very confusing as the city website has very different numbers
@shawn_dubs Half of Houston is probably lane miles. That’s my guess anyway. We probably have nearly as many or more in just raw mileage by distance but they have so many more lanes on their arterials and secondary roads.
Per the mayor, we're at about half of Houston, but I do hope we're paying attention and not falling into the same trap they have due to sprawl. x.com/davidfholt/sta…
As a resident of Oklahoma City (pop density of ~1200/sqmi and perhaps more roads than Houston) this napkin math is nauseating in its implications
@shawn_dubs Regardless of miles, when we take long term bonds to resurface roads, we’re falling into that trap of the growth Ponzi scheme, especially as we grow towards deer creek. Rule of thumb for public finance: never borrow from the future to pay for present maintenance
So, @RAILMag: how many daily (weekday) roundtrips call at Ft. Worth Central? Answer: 66 33 TEXRail, 31 TRE, 2 Amtrak (Heartland Flyer & Texas Eagle) TEXRail & Amtrak schedules are the same 7 days per week. TRE has a smaller Saturday schedule & no Sunday service.
Video: Arriving at Fort Worth Central Station - westbound TRE #2912 en route to T&P Station. I’m going to ride TRE over to the very-recently opened Trinity Lakes Station (Feb. 19th) then back here for TEXRail for a couple of stops before my early evening flight out of DFW.
32 trains a day can you imagine. Like just give us two a day to start with between OKC/Tulsa and see how it goes. FR. x.com/berkie1/status…
The people love trains!🚄 🎉 @GoBrightline’s new service between Miami and Orlando is at or near capacity on 1/3 of their trips and over 80% capacity on 1/2. 32 trains make the 3.5 hour journey each day.
Change the name to OK Department of Cars if they won't seriously and comprehensively consider all common transportation options in their planning. Brightline says they can't keep up with demand on some routes and we're over here fucking around.
