That multi-use development at Park Lane and Central already tried to adopt the mid-town name. I guess it didn't really stick though.

I'd be happy if we could just recycle them curbside.

Yes, there are bike racks. Also, Polyphonic Spree was awful. I left halfway through.

Dallas implemented its bike plan 20 years ago. Nobody expected that the ambitious new 2011 plan would happen over night.

DART shouldn't be thinking about increasing ridership until the can increase capacity. Trains are already full during rush hour.

I hope that requiring Facebook for contests is not going to become the standard.

Actually, the "spandex crowd", including the Lance himself, are in favor of bike lanes and such. It is mostly the bearded hippies (the Yehuda Moons) who oppose it.

I saw a Wingstop in Belmopan, Belize - they had the logo and everything. No idea if it was an official franchisee.

Additional correction, that would be the White Rock Creek Trail.

Anyone know what the typical cost would be?

Trulia is pretty nice but linking to external sites for details/photos is a hassle. I am a little biased but Ebby.com is still my favorite. The updated map search function is quite nice. And you get all MLS photos with no registration.

Scott: I got that info from the Media Relations dept at DART. I also saw them myself on the train this morning. Across from the wheelchair area, there are a pair of seats that flip up and a hook above your head to hang your bike by the wheel. Good luck getting access to it if the train is full.

They also had a bar going down the middle of the door way on this new train car. I assume this is to prevent wheelchairs from going on until all of the stations are retrofitted for the low-floor but it might make it more difficult for bikes to get on as well.

Just got a clarification from DART. The new train cars "will have bike hooks inside where customers may hang their bikes".

This is the first I've heard of bike racks on the trains. I wonder if this DMN article is confused with the bike racks being added to the buses.

I don't have too much of a problem with standing on the train but most of the current standing room is in the aisles and door ways. This makes it difficult for people to get on and off a crowded train.

It would be more efficient if the seats were arranged along the walls. You'd have fewer seats but room for more total passengers and make it easier to get on and off. The new Super cars should help, though.

We don't have enough money to build the rail lines we've planed but we're spending over a million dollars on sculpture? That seems pretty ridiculous.

I am certainly in favor of making the Deep Ellum station artsy and interesting, particularly to make up for the graffiti tunnel that had to be sacrificed. Couldn't we get Nasher or somebody to pay for it though?

That white line of paint defining a bike lane is not magical and will not protect you from the cars inches away. Most accidents happen at intersections and bike lanes don't make intersections safer.
