Hello All,
I've been browsing here for a little while, but this is my first post. I also thought it would be one of the best places to get feedback on a personal project I've been working on - The Get Philly Moving Plan.
Some of you may be familiar with Damien Goodmon's "Get L.A. Moving" Plan (which can be seen at http://glam.fminus.com/). I've studied it in the past and thought that Philly could equally benefit from a system that strong.
Below is the map I've come up with for the plan. It combines several previously proposed extensions, some speculated on various message boards, and of course, my own contributions. The colored lines are intended as subway/elevated heavy rail lines, the smaller green lines are trolleys, and the rest is commuter rail. I'm working on getting it copyrighted so that I may turn the proposal into a website, but any feedback or suggestions you guys might have would be greatly appreciated, as it's still a document in some transition. Thanks!
