This is part why the North Ave BRT is so important. It’s a fairly short trip between the BeltLine to a transit station. For example the fastest trip I took from between the EST & North Ave took 3 minutes. Granted we hit all greens and think we only stopped twice, but that was awesome.
I’m all for BRT & LRT extensions, however the near term implementation of the BRT systems will be helpful. I’ll be more vocal for the crosstown LRT only if it receives dedicated lanes. Otherwise, I’d rather LRT state in the right of way on the BeltLine and we just have BRT for all crosstown routes.
