WITH The Tide postponed, again, I can't help but mock this hit to my future commute. I know what you're thinking: We all were going to be waiting in line to see if we'd be the first ones on this 7.4- mile bundle of fun. Better luck next time, I imagine, though I may need to hold my tongue. Next time it may be Virginia Beach's light rail. In 2007 the Federal Transit Authority agreed to fund 72 percent of the original $232 million cost for The Tide, but not on cost overruns. Now that the cost is more than $338 million, the state/ local pricetag on this project jumped $106 million to $171 million. Compared with people in Norfolk, this marginally hits me, a Virginia Beach resident, in the wallet.
Two women were cut with a knife during a skirmish Thursday on a Port Authority of Allegheny County bus near the light-rail transit station on West Carson Street near Station Square. Port Authority spokesman Jim Ritchie said the women sustained "minor injuries" in the incident that occurred at 5:50 p.m. on an outbound Route 51 bus. "Multiple people" were involved, Ritchie said.
Changes are coming to 13 Port Authority of Allegheny County bus and light-rail transit routes starting Nov. 20 as part of the agency's routine quarterly service adjustments. Port Authority will add trips or tweak schedules to address overcrowding on five routes: 38 Green Tree, 51 Carrick, 51L Carrick Limited, 56 Lincoln Place and 57 Hazelwood.
WEST VALLEY CITY -- City leaders are pushing back against a plan endorsed by the Utah Transit Authority that would put light rail along 5600 West. City manager Wayne Pyle sent a letter to the transit agency in late February saying that city planners don't foresee the suburban road as a good fit for permanent tracks.
The Port Authority of Allegheny County will allow riders to take bicycles onto light-rail T cars during peak travel hours, the transit agency said on Friday. The Port Authority previously did not allow bikes on T cars from 6 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6:30 p.m. on weekdays.
There were no injuries in a construction accident Monday night on the Port Authority of Allegheny County light-rail transit lines in Mt. Lebanon that stopped service on the Red Line in the area. The brakes on a small mechanical lift that operates on the rails and is used to raise heavy objects gave way at about 8:45 p.m., and the lift rolled down the tracks and collided with a construction truck at the light-rail tunnel, Port Authority spokesman Jim Ritchie said. There were about seven workers there, county emergency dispatchers said.
