This place has been quiet lately. I plan to update sometime this weekend.

On top of it all, they botched the pathfinding simulation making traffic management a guessing process at best.

Test print arrived today! Here's a sneak peak http://i49.tinypic.com/15ar8k.jpg Final print will be 28.5" by 21" printed on heavy matte paper Interested in getting one of these? Sign up here to be notified when it becomes available. http://i49.tinypic.com/2a8rku1.jpg http://i45.tinypic.co...

3. Since we are talking 2030 (and beyond), lets go ahead and add the 38th Street Station to the Orange Line. I think this map is going to be really popular, and in a way we can use it to advance certain ideas/desires about transit in the region. If you add 38th Street Station, you can also add Rout...

For individual posts. I'm thinking #f5f5ff, but maybe I'm just so used to a paler color scheme of another message board. What does everyone else think?

Nice! A neutral grey background would work better for posting images.

Interesting. I don't think the goal is making a usable, consumer-grade map. From the beginning, the goal was really to show the general alignment of future transit services in way that is uniquely illuminating. I'm trying to walk a thin line between making it comprehensive yet too complex for a casu...

It will still be diagrammatic. Just with an added familiarity of a google map Many European maps favor abstraction, like this one of Leipzig's LVB network (trams+buses): http://i46.tinypic.com/24x1ff7.jpg but the Spokane Transit Map looks just as nice, with the cross streets labeled: http://i47.tiny...

Need your opinion on something, guys.

Would you prefer to see a map with the street grid as shown below OR one without the grid and only the transit corridors labeled? In other words, the map can have more local context or less context.

Attention mapping geeks!

I plan on printing a couple of large maps in the coming days. Anyone interested in seeing it in person? I will be available for a show and tell next week or the week after. Lemme know!

I can make the design part happen. But we would also need someone skilled in Mapnik and XML for the back end part to happen.

[quote="Visualizer"I'd like to see that implemented to the full extent and possibly even replace the current method, or perhaps make them interchangable........you may commence.

Can be accomplished. Are you a web developer?

http://i50.tinypic.com/28inw1u.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/4kwi14.jpg I've added the remaining on my list bus routes in St. Paul. Something that has been low on priority list is commuter rail. Which isn't finished, but will be added back in the next update. Still need to create the HSR markers. I th...

Bus network: thicker line = 10-15 min peak/base frequency, thin line = 20

Routes added or extended 4, 6, 46, 50.

To me, the map looks a little empty without the 4.

You will be pleased to know that the 4 will be added in the next update.

I really need to be wrapping this up, so ... I will simply include all routes operating every 20 or fewer minutes or roughly 1/2 the frequency of the Green Line. Sound good?
