new city plan just earmarked the low-line trench for a high-speed bus route that would connect a string of cultural venues to the heart of downtown. Comparing BRT that has its own row to a traditional bus route is stupid. Comparing the highline in NYC to this also does not make any sense as the demographics and population density is not even on the same planet and the NYC area is already served by ample transit while this area is not. It seems like an easy answer to me that BRT is by far the better option. Am I missing something? Also "Combining the low line, west of Broad, with the mile-long high line, east of Broad, would create a 3.7-mile belt of green space on the northern rim of Center City. Branded "Viaduct Greene," it would almost certainly ignite development in the triangle between Temple University, Northern Liberties, and Spring Garden." Like an added transit line would not? Upzone the area as a TOD district and there would be even more development...
