HUNTERSVILLE
A Charlotte developer is proposing to build a transit-oriented retail, commercial and residential development with 772 apartments and 150 townhomes beside a planned commuter rail station.
Harris Development Group’s Sam Furr Station also would include 135,500 square feet of offices and 99,500 square feet of commercial and retail businesses, according to documents the developer has filed with the Huntersville Planning Department.

THWM: They’ve been wating 60 years for this moment.
to be fair (or preemptive), the rail is free for the first week
I wonder how long the lines will be in the blistering hot summer months.

JK: Aren’t the stations air conditioned? Or did they get cheap on the amenities? (Or are they saving CO2 for Al Gore’s retirement fund?)
Thanks

Mr.Karlock you sure have a fetish for Al Gore!
one might find ridership increasing in the blistering summer – for the same reason malls and movie theatres are crowded then: free air conditioning. worth the wait on the platform, especially for those who won’t be able to replace their air conditioner compressor on their car.
Rail Runner planners mull parking expansion
Julie Ann Grimm | The New Mexican
12/29/2008 – 12/30/08
Passenger demand has train planners considering parking expansion at stations north of Albuquerque where commuters and casual travelers board the New Mexico Rail Runner Express heading to Santa Fe.
During this past week of train service between the two cities, more than 33,000 passengers climbed aboard, leaving parking lots full or mostly full at stations in Los Ranchos and in Sandoval County, said Chris Blewett, project manager for the Mid-Region Council of Governments.
Thirty new spaces will soon be added to the Sandoval/N.M. 550 station, bringing the number of vehicles that can park in lots on both sides of the tracks there to 454.
At the Los Ranchos station near the Journal Center, cars may park on the shoulder of La Puebla Road if the lot’s 140 parking spaces are occupied. For now, that is acceptable, Blewett said. In the future, other options include using land north or west of the station for new lots.
Planners are not in a hurry, however, until rider patterns are more established.
“We just want to make sure this all works,” Blewett said.

“Mr.Karlock you sure have a fetish for Al Gore!” Like I said earlier, I think there is a one-to-one correlation between right winger ideologue blog posts and the mentioning of Al Gore. Reminds me of elementary school when some of the boys would pick on the girls they liked…I guess some people never grow up.
I had no clue what line or station you were talking about, Dan. I lived in ABQ in ’97 and in 2000. Of course, no such thing existed then. I don’t recall them even talking about it then. A commuter to Santa Fe. Wow.
What percentage of the LRT riders in Phoenix were already taking transit?
